How Strong Is Your Medical Vocabulary? Take Our Quiz to Test It!

You don’t need to be a doctor to speak a little “medical.” Maybe you picked up a few terms from watching Grey’s Anatomy, grew curious thanks to a health scare, or had a relative who liked tossing around words like “tachycardia” at dinner. Whatever the case, some of those Latin- and Greek-rooted words may have slipped into your brain—no anatomy degree required.

And if you did study Latin or dreamed of becoming a neurosurgeon at age ten, even better. Knowing your prefixes from your suffixes (hello, “nephro-” and “-algia”) will definitely come in handy. So buckle up, flex that cerebrum, and see how your medical vocabulary measures up. Stat!
