【中醫的臟腑與西醫的臟腑有甚麼區別?】
唔知大家知唔知中醫的五臟, 即心、肝、脾 、肺、腎和六腑即膽、胃、小腸、大腸、膀胱、三焦, 跟西醫解剖意義上的器官, 例如:心臟、肝臟、脾臟 、肺臟、腎臟是不同的😝。兩者雖然在稱謂上是一樣，但是中醫的「五臟六腑」是一個偏於功能和抽象的概念😲，強調的不是解剖學上的結構，而是功能, 並且是相互平行的關係😔。
👉例如, 中醫的「脾」和西醫的「脾」無論是在形狀丶部位丶功能上都是完全不相同的。 西醫的「脾」是一個解剖學概念，即是負責造血˴ 濾血和免疫等功能。而中醫的「脾」, 即是掌管食物和水液的消化、吸收和運送。
👉又例如：心臟在西醫學上是一個不跳停動的器官, 每次心跳都會將血液循環及流經全身肺臟。不過在中醫的概念中，心除了掌管血脈外，亦會掌管人的意識思緒。常常聽到有人在表達情感時，都會說「from the bottom of your heart」, 看來「心主神明」並不分東西方文化。

【What is the difference between the viscera of traditional Chinese medicine and that of Western medicine?】
In traditional Chinese medicine, the five internal organs refer to the heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, the six internal organs refer to the gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, bladder and Sanjiao , and in western medicine, the five internal organs refer to the
organs in the anatomical sense, such as heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney. Therefore, the viscera are different in Chinese and Western medicine😝. Although the appellation of the two is the same, the "viscera" in traditional Chinese medicine is a concept biased
towards function and abstraction😲. It emphasizes not the anatomical structure, but the function of organs, and there is a parallel relationship between all organs😔.
👉For example, the "spleen" of traditional Chinese medicine and that of Western medicine are completely different in shape, location and function. The "spleen" of Western medicine is an anatomical concept, which is responsible for the hematopoietic function of the human body , blood filtering function and immune function. The "spleen" of traditional Chinese medicine is responsible for digestion, absorption and transportation of food and water.
👉Another example, in western medicine, the heart is an organ that non - stop beating. Every heartbeat circulates blood through the organs of the body. But in Chinese medicine, the heart is responsible for the mind as well as the blood. We often heart that people say: “from the bottom of your heart” when expressing their emotions. It seems that "heart controlling mental activities" do not distinguish between Eastern and Western cultures.
