Human Anatomy & Physiology: Latin and Greek Word-Part List (prefixes, suffixes, roots) Students of any biology course should learn to recognize the meaning of word parts as they often give clues to the meaning of a scientific term, function, or process.
Intrinsic capacity (IC), as the composite of the physical and . mental capacities of an individual, is one of a few operational indicators of health aimed at measuring the capacities –rather than deficits- of multiple human biological systems based in the body functions most relevant for healthy ageing (1, 2).
This is a list of roots, suffixes, and prefixes used in medical terminology, their meanings, and their etymologies. Most of them are combining forms in Neo-Latin and hence international scientific vocabulary. There are a few general rules about how they combine.
In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) introduced the concept of intrinsic capacity (IC) to define healthy aging based on functional capacity. In this scoping review, we summarized available evidence on the development and validation of IC index scores, the association of IC with health-related factors, and its biological basis.

This simple general model of “rates-in” and “rates-out” applies to all physical systems. Mass (or matter) can be liquid (e.g., water, blood), gas (e.g., oxygen, carbon dioxide), solute within a liquid medium (e.g., ions, glucose, hormones) or solid (e.g., CaPO4 in bone).
The phenotype of an organism denotes its external appearance (size, color, intelligence, etc.). Classical genetics showed that genes control the transmission of phenotype from one generation to ...
