Etym (word history)/ology (study of)
Mast (breast)/ectomy (removal)
Neur (nerve)/oma (tumor)
Tachy (rapid)/cardia (heart[rate])
Endo (inner)/ trachea (tubes leading to lungs)/-al (adjective suffix)
If you are going to be doing more of this, I would suggest getting a book on medical terminology. They are relatively inexpensive in paperback. Some of these can be found in an online or hardbound dictionary.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
