Topic 7:2 Terms NOT Built from Word Parts

l. Objective 2: Define, pronounce, and spell medical terms NOT built from word parts. (p. 214)
The terms you will learn for this topic are NOT built from word parts but are terms from modern language and other origins. They may contain word parts but are difficult to translate to learn their meaning.
