Suffixes can alter the meaning of medical terms. It is important to spell and pronounce suffixes correctly.\n\nSuffixes in medical terms are common to English language suffixes. Suffixes are not always explicitly stated in the definition of a word. It is common that suffixes will not be explicitly stated when defining a medical term in the workplace. However, when transcribing or reading medical reports the suffix is always clearly written. In order to properly spell and pronounce medical terms, it is helpful to learn the suffixes.\n<h3>Common Suffixes<\/h3>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 100%;height: 849px\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 15px\">\n<th style=\"width: 33.3333%;height: 15px\" scope=\"col\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">SUFFIX<\/span><\/strong><\/th>\n<th style=\"width: 33.3333%;height: 15px\" scope=\"col\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">MEANING<\/span><\/strong><\/th>\n<th style=\"width: 33.3333%;height: 15px\" scope=\"col\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">EXAMPLE OF USE IN MEDICAL TERMS<\/span><\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 16px\">\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;height: 16px\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">-ac<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;height: 16px\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">Pertaining to<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;height: 16px\">[pb_glossary id=\"264\"]Cardiac[\/pb_glossary]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 16px\">\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;height: 16px\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">-blast, -blasto, -blastic<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;height: 16px\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">Bud;

Suffixes can alter the meaning of medical terms. It is important to spell and pronounce suffixes correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Suffixes in medical terms are common to English language suffixes. Suffixes are not always explicitly stated in the definition of a word. It is common that suffixes will not be explicitly stated when defining a medical term in the workplace. However, when transcribing or reading medical reports the suffix is always clearly written. In order to properly spell and pronounce medical terms, it is helpful to learn the suffixes.<\/p>\n<h3>Common Suffixes<\/h3>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 100%;height:
