Mohamed

TA
Nermeen
:
Great
!
Let's
start
with
.
The
root
word
in
is
-
,
meaning
convexity
of
the
spine
,
and
the
suffix
is
-
,
indicating
abnormal
condition
.
So
,
kyphosis
is
the
of
of
the
.
Next
is
the
root
-
means
'increased
concavity
of
the
spine
,
and
the
suffix
-
again
means
abnormal
condition
.
So
,
refers
to
an
of
the
spine
,
making
the
lower
back
arch
forward
more
than

Mohamed
:
I

spine
curvatures
TA
Nermeen

refers
to
the
region
of
the
spine
.
The
root

means
lumbar
region

So

On
the
other
hand
,
is
a
surgical
procedure
involving
the
removal

The
root
-
refers
to
the
lamina
,
and
the
suffix
-
indicates
'excision
.
'
This
procedure
is
done
to
on
the
cord
or
nerves
.
Mohamed
:
Now
I
see
how
laminectomy
is
connected
to
the
spine
too
.
TA
Nermeen
:
Good
question

refers
to
the

an
.
The
root
disk

is
the
same

but
this
time
the

related
to
bones
and
joints
this
time
?
TA

Let
?
s
start
the
skull
.
The
root
-
means
cranium

means
the
.
the
thigh

.
The
root
femor
-
means
,
and
the
suffix

al

TA
Nermeen
:
The
root
burs

and
the
suffix

ectomy
means

So

Bursitis
,
on
the
other
hand
,
the
root
burs
-
remains
the
same
,
but
the
suffix

means
inflammation

So

describes
the
painful
