About this resource
This quiz focuses on medical terminology fundamentals, specifically the recognition and understanding of common medical prefixes, suffixes, and root words. The content is appropriate for grades 9-12 students beginning their study of healthcare sciences or anatomy and physiology. Students need to master the systematic breakdown of medical terms into their component parts and understand how these morphological elements combine to create precise medical vocabulary. The questions assess students' ability to identify anatomical roots (blephar-, gastr-, cardi-, dermat-), medical specialties and procedures (-ologist, -ology, -ectomy, -otomy), pathological conditions (-itis, -osis, -oma), and descriptive terms (megal-, -malacia, spasm). Success requires memorization of standard medical word parts and the analytical skills to recognize patterns in medical terminology construction, which forms the foundation for all future healthcare education. Created by Iesa Bennett, a teacher in the US who teaches grades 9-12. This quiz serves as an excellent introductory assessment tool for students beginning their journey into medical terminology, aligning with health science pathway standards. Teachers can effectively use this quiz as a formative assessment after initial instruction on Dean Vaughn's medical terminology system, as a practice exercise for vocabulary retention, or as a review tool before advancing to more complex medical terms. The mix of multiple-choice identification questions and true/false verification makes it ideal for homework assignments or warm-up activities that reinforce memorization while building confidence. This assessment supports standards such as CTE Health Science standards for medical terminology mastery and can serve as preparation for students planning to pursue healthcare careers or advanced placement courses in anatomy and physiology.
