The video tutorial introduces medical terminology by explaining prefixes, roots, and suffixes. It covers common root words like 'cardio' and 'gastro', and how prefixes can modify meanings, such as indicating size or negation. Suffixes are discussed in terms of their role in forming nouns or adjectives. The tutorial demonstrates how to combine these elements to create new medical terms and provides strategies for analyzing unknown terms by breaking them down into their components.
