Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Begin by breaking down the term 'hepatosplenomegaly' into its components. 'Hepato-' refers to the liver, 'spleno-' refers to the spleen, and '-megaly' means enlargement.
Step 2: Understand that hepatosplenomegaly is a medical condition characterized by the simultaneous enlargement of the liver and spleen.
Step 3: Review the options provided in the question. The correct answer must include both the liver and spleen, as indicated by the term itself.
Step 4: Eliminate incorrect options by matching the organ names in the term to the options. For example, 'heart and lungs' and 'kidneys and pancreas' do not correspond to 'hepatosplenomegaly.'
Step 5: Confirm that the correct answer is 'Liver and spleen,' as these are the organs specifically mentioned in the term 'hepatosplenomegaly.'
