How it's used
This term is a technical anatomical noun used primarily in medical, biological, or psychological contexts. It is not part of everyday casual conversation, so you will mostly encounter it in academic lectures, health articles, or when discussing neuroscience. Unlike many common Cantonese words, it does not have a colloquial equivalent, so it is used as is even in spoken Cantonese when the topic arises.
Examples
