Immunology Terminology: Building Medical Terms with Word Parts

Core immunology terms built from word parts:

1. Immunology – immuno- (immune) + -logy (study of) = the study of immune phenomena.
2. Immunologist – immuno- + -logist (specialist) = a physician specializing in immunology.
3. Immunologic – immuno- + -logic (pertaining to) = relating to immunology.

Understanding these roots helps decode related terms (e.g., immunodeficiency, immunotherapy, autoimmunity).
