Medical Korean: Organ Systems!

안녕하세요 여러분? Sindhu 입니다! Welcome back to our medical Korean series. This week, we'll be learning a little more anatomy (해부학) and focusing on organ systems (장기).


These words can help you better understand your own body as well as how to express any concerns with specificity to your doctor the next time you need to do so in Korean! This vocabulary list is, of course, not exhaustive in the slightest but instead serves as an overview of the major organs and vital structures of our body.

The one that I already knew from kpop songs is 심장😂❤

And I think I'm gonna mix up 긴장 with 신장 in the future often.😅
