I want people to understand how formulaic language is! Here, I break down a list of words which I will provide below.  Lactic Acidosis  “osis” meaning illness (having been cause by lactic acid) “metabolic” – meaning/referring to “cell division”  Hyper Metabolic Lymph nodes “hyper” – meaning “high” “metabolic” – meaning “cell division” Lymph Nodes – Denoting the structures in your body where white blood cells from your immune system, accumulate and drain. Generalized Tonic Clonic (From the ancient Greek) “Tonos” – “To stretch” “Clonus” – “Violent and confused motion, muscular spasm” Upper-Extremity Dysmetria “Dys” – “wrong” “Metria” – “length” Ataxic Gate “a” – “without” “taxic” – “order” “gait” – referring to an individual’s manner of walking Bradycardia “brady” – “slow” “cardia” – referring to heart rate Hypophosphatemia “hypo” – “low” “phosphate” – referring to the important anion that exists mainly instead of an individual’s cells “emia” – meaning “presence in blood” - Therefore, when put all together, Hypophosphatemia means “Low Phosphate Presence in Blood” Atrophy “a” – “without” “trophy” – “nourishment” Acute Hyponatremia “hypo” – “low” “natr” – pertaining to sodium (NA; Natrium) “emia” – “presence in blood” - So, “Low Sodium Presence in Blood” Rhabdomyolysis “rhabdo” – “striated or skeletal” (Skeletal Muscle is striated in appearance) “myo” – “muscle” (myofibril) “lysis” – “breakdown” - Therefore, “Skeletal Muscle Breakdown” is what this term literally means Hypokalemia “hypo” – “low” “kal” – “potassium” (K; Kalium) “emia”- “presence in blood” “Low Potassium Presence in Blood”
