Practice Question

🎉 Explanation

English Explanation

The correct reading ひぞう (hizou) uses the On'yomi for both 脾 (ひ) and 臓 (ぞう), common for medical terms. Wrong readings like ひぞ, ひぞお, ひぞー omit or incorrectly render the long 'ou' vowel sound for 臓. 脾臓 refers specifically to the spleen, an organ filtering blood and supporting the immune system, distinct from the liver or lymph nodes.

日本語解説

正しい読みの「ひぞう」は、脾(ひ)も臓(ぞう)も音読みで、医療用語によく見られます。「ひぞ」「ひぞお」などは臓の長音を誤っています。脾臓は血液のろ過や免疫機能に関わる臓器で、肝臓やリンパ節とは異なります。
