Medical Terminology

I bought these flashcards (see left) a few months ago and started flipping through them whenever I had time to kill but didn't want to open up a textbook for serious studying.  To be honest, all of the diagrams and picture seemed a bit goofy.  Tonight all the terminology studying paid off being able to deconstruct words on the quiz like

gluconeogenesis
glycogenolysis
glycolysis
glycogenesis


(the questions was something about what glucagon does).  All the words were close enough that without the ability to break the word down into its components they'd be really hard to tell apart.  I'm glad medical terminology (now that I'm starting to understand it) means that I won't need to memorize everything :)
