Hey guys, did you see my posting for WEek 9? I may make a similar exercise for the final since there weren't many chapters after the midterm. Please check Angel

1. Print and read the the Operative Report above and the History and Physical Report below. (see Angel for documents) 2. Take each of the medical terms or phrases in "red", and dissect the words into their component elements (prefixes, suffixes and roots). Just as in fractions, reduce these terms to their smallest component parts. 3. Define each word part, and identify what kind of word element it is. If the word is part of a phrase that can't be broken down into medical term parts (you'll know!) just define the phrase.

4. Define the original term. 5. This assignment is worth 30 points, and is due next Friday, June 4. The assignment will be graded based on completeness, accuracy, and spelling. 7. This quiz should be reported on the WIKI on a new page (I'll make it!)**.**
