Root Explanation

Hemodynamically → It is formed from "hemo-" (from Greek "haima", meaning blood) and "dynamis" (meaning power or force) combined with the suffix "-ically" (meaning in a manner relating to). The term refers to the manner in which blood flow and pressure are regulated and influenced in the body.

Memory Tip

Think of 'blood' ('hemo-') and 'force' ('dynamis') to remember that 'hemodynamically' relates to how blood flow and pressure are managed.
