Hepatothrombin is a medical term that refers to a substance that is involved in the clotting of blood. The word can be broken down into two parts: "hepato" which means liver, and "thrombin" which is a protein that plays a crucial role in the formation of blood clots. The correct pronunciation of hepatothrombin is /hɛˌpatəʊˈθrɒmbɪn/. The IPA phonetic transcription reveals that the "h" in "hepato" is silent, the emphasis is on the second syllable, and "th" is pronounced as "θ". Understanding the phonetic transcription can help in the correct spelling and pronunciation of medical terms.
Leucothrombin derived from the liver.
