•Three rules for building medical words•Rule 1: A WR links a suffix that begins with a vowel.
•Rule 2: A CF links a suffix that begins with a consonant.
•Rule 3: A CF links a root to another root to form a compound word. •Rule 3 holds true even if the next root begins with a vowel, as in gastr/o/intestin/al.
Business 86, Medical Terminology
• Determine which of the three rules for building medical words applies to the following terms.
1.arthr/itis

1. arthr/itis — Rule 1: A root links a suffix that begins with a vowel.
2. gastr/o/intestin/al — Rule 3: A CF links a root to another root to form a compound word; a root links a suffix that begins with a vowel.
3. hepat/o/cyte — Rule 2: A CF links a suffix that begins with a consonant.
