PowerPoint Presentation: 

Please join me in learning some vocabulary related to the integumentary system!

Combining Form: Dermat/o: 

Combining Form: Dermat /o Dermat /o refers to the skin We can combine dermat /o with numerous prefixes and suffixes to create word meaning. An example is the word: dermatitis The suffix – itis means inflammation, therefore: Dermatitis means inflammation of the skin. Say it out loud: “Dermatitis!” [ dur- muh - TAHY -tis]

Combining Form: Melan/o: 

Combining Form: Melan /o Melan /o means black. We can combine melan /o with the suffix – cyte , which means cell. We have created the word melanocyte , which means “black cell.” Say it out loud: “Melanocyte!” [ muh - LAN - uh - sahyt ]

Suffix: -Derma: 

Suffix: -Derma The suffix – derma also refers to the skin. By adding –derma to the end of a word, we can create meaning. By adding the combining form leuk /o , which means white, we can create the word leukoderma , meaning white skin. Say it out loud: “ Leukoderma !” [l oo - kuh - dur - muh ]

Combining form: onych/o: 

Combining form: onych /o The combining form onych /o refers to the nails. We can combine onych /o with the suffix – phagia , meaning to eat/swallow, to create the term Onychophagia , which means nail-biting. Now that you’re getting the hang of this, let’s try another one: Another word we can create with the combining form onych /o is onychomalacia , which means “softening of the nail.” We made this word by adding the suffix -- malacia , which means “abnormal softening.” Say them both out loud: “ Onychophagia !” “ Onychomalacia !” [on -i-koh- fey- juh] [on-ih-koh-mah-lay-she-ah]
