Briefly describe the difference between the following term components:22. peri- vs. para- q,23. hypo- vs. hyper- q,24. hem/o vs. -emia q,25. -tomy vs. -stomy vs. -ectomy
22. peri- vs. para-
peri- means “around” or “surrounding” (e.g., pericardium = around the heart). para- generally means “beside,” “near,” or “alongside,” and can also imply abnormality or deviation when used in some contexts (e.g., parathyroid = beside the thyroid; paranasal = beside the nasal cavity).
23. hypo- vs. hyper-
hypo- means “under,” “below normal,” or “deficient” (e.g., hypoglycemia = low blood sugar). hyper- means “over,” “above normal,” or “excessive” (e.g., hyperglycemia = high blood sugar).
24. hem/o vs. -emia
hem/o (or hemat/o) is a combining form meaning “blood” (e.g., hemoglobin). -emia is a suffix meaning a condition of the blood or presence of something in the blood (e.g., anemia = lack of blood/low red cells; bacteremia = bacteria in the blood).
25. -tomy vs. -stomy vs. -ectomy
-tomy denotes cutting into or making an incision (e.g., tracheotomy = incision into the trachea). -stomy denotes creating a new, usually permanent or semi-permanent, opening (stoma) from an organ to the body surface or another organ (e.g., colostomy). -ectomy denotes surgical removal or excision of a part (e.g., appendectomy = removal of the appendix).
