The Vietnamese word "phủ tạng" refers to the "innards" or "internal organs" of an animal or human body. It typically includes organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and intestines. This term is often used in both medical contexts and everyday conversations, especially when discussing anatomy or cooking.
In medical or scientific discussions, "phủ tạng" might be used to describe the condition or health of internal organs. For example, a doctor might refer to "kiểm tra phủ tạng" (checking the innards) when discussing a medical examination.
While "phủ tạng" generally refers to innards, it may also be used metaphorically in certain contexts to describe the inner workings of something, such as the "inner feelings" or "emotions" of a person, though this usage is less common.
