Explanation
ไขกระดูก is made from ไข, meaning the soft inner substance or marrow, and กระดูก, meaning bone. It is not an everyday word, but it is a normal, understandable term in medical explanations. Useful phrases include ตรวจไขกระดูก “examine bone marrow,” ปลูกถ่ายไขกระดูก “perform a bone marrow transplant,” and บริจาคไขกระดูก “donate bone marrow.”
Usage
It is used in hospital explanations, blood-related diseases such as leukemia, bone marrow transplants, donor registration, medical articles, and health news.
Caution
ไข by itself has several other meanings, such as egg, fat, or to solve/untie, so it is best to learn ไขกระดูก as a fixed word meaning bone marrow. For ordinary talk about bones, use กระดูก; use ไขกระดูก only when referring to the inner tissue of the bone.
