1 Animal, Plant & Soil Science Lesson C5-9 Veterinary Terminology

2 Interest Approach Gather some common veterinary tools (e.g., scissors, forceps, and scalpels). Ask the students what each item is and for what purpose it is used. If these items cannot be found in a standard science lab, they can be purchased on a veterinary supply Web site.

3 Objectives Define and use common veterinary medical root words, prefixes, and suffixes. Recognize and describe common veterinary medical abbreviations.

4 Objectives Define and properly use terms (ventral, dorsal, etc.) that describe the direction and position of vertebrae animal body parts. Identify and describe the function of instruments used in veterinary practice.

5 Terms adeno anaesthetic machine anti artho auto BAR BID BP cardio caudal cranial distal dorsal ectomy EENT forceps GI

6 Terms hem IC IM IP itis IV lateral medial neuro odonto oma palmar plantar plasty prefixes proximal QID root word

7 Terms root word SC SID stomy suffixes TID UTI vaso ventral

8 What are some common veterinary medical root words, prefixes, and suffixes? Common veterinary medical root words, prefixes, and suffixes A. Medical root words are crucial to comprehending terminology. A root word refers to the form of a word when all prefixes and suffixes are removed. 1. Cardio pertaining to the heart 2. Vaso blood vessel 3. Adeno gland 4. Artho joint 5. Odonto tooth or teeth

9 What are some common veterinary medical root words, prefixes, and suffixes? B. Prefixes are word sounds attached to the beginning of a word to change the meaning. 1. Anti against 2. Auto self 3. Hem blood 4. Neuro nervous system

10 What are some common veterinary medical root words, prefixes, and suffixes? C. Suffixes are word sounds that are added to the end of a word to change the meaning. 1. Plasty surgical repair 2. Itis inflammation 3. Ectomy surgical removal 4. Oma tumor or neoplasm 5. Stomy artificial or surgical opening

11 What are some common veterinary medical abbreviations? Common veterinary medical abbreviations A. Intramuscular (IM) injections are given in the muscle. Muscles in the neck are commonly used in large animals. Thigh and back muscles are commonly used in small animals.

12 What are some common veterinary medical abbreviations? B. Intracardial (IC) injections are given directly into the heart. C. Intravenous (IV) injections are given directly into a vein. D. Intraperitoneal (IP) injections are given into the peritoneal or abdominal cavity. E. BP blood pressure F. SID once daily

13 What are some common veterinary medical abbreviations? G. BID twice daily H. TID three times daily I. QID four times daily J. EENT eyes, ears, nose, and throat K. UTI urinary tract infection L. BAR bright, alert, responsive M. GI Gastrointestinal N. Subcutaneous (SC) injections are given under the skin.

14 What are some terms that describe the direction and position of vertebrae animal body parts? Direction and position of vertebrae animal body parts A. Dorsal and ventral 1. Dorsal refers to a body part that is directed toward the back of the body. For instance, the hip joint is dorsal to the knee joint. 2. Ventral refers to a body part that is directed toward the belly. For example, the elbow joint is ventral to the shoulder joint.

15 What are some terms that describe the direction and position of vertebrae animal body parts?

16 What are some terms that describe the direction and position of vertebrae animal body parts? B. Medial and lateral 1. Medial refers to being directed toward the middle or median plane of the body. The median plane is best described as a line that would divide the body in half from head to tail. 2. Lateral refers to being directed away from the median plane of the body.

17

18 What are some terms that describe the direction and position of vertebrae animal body parts? C. Cranial and caudal 1. Cranial is directed toward the head or cranium. It is used on the legs to describe structures above the metacarpal/ankle/fetlock joint. Dorsal is used to describe structures below the aforementioned joint, along with palmar or plantar. 2. Caudal is directed toward the rear of the body. It is used for structures on limbs above the metacarpal/ankle/fetlock joint.

19 What are some terms that describe the direction and position of vertebrae animal body parts?

20 What are some terms that describe the direction and position of vertebrae animal body parts? D. Proximal and distal 1. Proximal is directed toward the body from foot to head. 2. Distal is directed away from the body from head to foot.

21 What are some terms that describe the direction and position of vertebrae animal body parts? E. Palmar and plantar 1. Palmar is the surface that is equivalent to the palm of a hand, for structures of the front limbs below the metacarpal/ankle/fetlock joint. 2. Plantar is the surface that is equivalent to the sole of the foot, for structures of the hind limbs below the metatarsal/ankle/fetlock joint.

22 What are the functions of instruments used in veterinary practices? Instruments used in veterinary practice A. Everyday instruments 1. Scissors are one of the most commonly used instruments in veterinary practice. They are used for cutting blunt lines and sutures. The scissors must be sanitized and sterilized prior to use.

23 What are the functions of instruments used in veterinary practices? 2. Forceps are used to grasp the skin when suturing an incision or closing a wound in sterile surgery. They may also be used to grasp ticks or other masses from a dog or cat.

24 What are the functions of instruments used in veterinary practices? B. Surgical instruments 1. Needle holders, retractors, and scalpels are also used in the surgery room. a. Needle holders are used to grasp the needle at the end of the suture; this allows the surgeon to precisely close the incision, using various sewing patterns. b. Retractors are used to hold back the body wall during surgery to allow the surgeon to expose and visualize the internal organs easier.

25 What are the functions of instruments used in veterinary practices? c. Scalpels have two parts: a handle and a very sharp blade. Scalpels are used to make a precise incision. More bleeding is associated with scalpels versus scissors because the blade is so sharp. These instruments are important to the success of the overall procedure and must be handled with care.

26 What are the functions of instruments used in veterinary practices? 2. The anaesthetic machine is a device that uses gases (e.g., oxygen and nitrous oxide), typically causes unconsciousness, and prevents the patient from feeling pain during surgery. It is important for the patient to receive the proper dose. An overdose could result in death, and too little could cause the patient to be awake and feel pain during the surgery.

27 What are the functions of instruments used in veterinary practices? C. Dental instruments 1. Dental instruments that are used on animals are very similar to the instruments humans use to clean their teeth. 2. A dental instrument used on a pet at home for teeth cleaning is a soft bristled toothbrush. There are special toothbrushes made for pets or a soft cloth may be used also.

28 What are the functions of instruments used in veterinary practices? 3. The veterinarian uses the same tools to extract teeth, fill cavities, and clean teeth as the tools used on humans. However, the instruments used on animals are a different size than human ones depending on the size of the animal.

29 Review What are some common veterinary medical root words, prefixes, and suffixes? What are some common veterinary medical abbreviations?

30 Review What are some terms that describe the direction and position of vertebrae animal body parts? What are the functions of instruments used in veterinary practices?
