Öntisztulásuk

"Öntisztulásuk" is a Hungarian term that translates to "self-cleaning" or "their self-cleaning." It is often used in a biological context, referring to the natural processes by which living organisms maintain cleanliness or remove waste products. This can encompass a wide range of phenomena, from the cellular level to the behavior of entire organisms.

At the cellular level, self-cleaning involves mechanisms like autophagy, where a cell breaks down and recycles damaged or unnecessary components. This is crucial for maintaining cellular health and preventing the accumulation of toxic substances. In multicellular organisms, self-cleaning can manifest in more visible ways. For instance, many animals groom themselves to remove dirt, parasites, and shedding skin or fur. Birds preen their feathers, cats lick their fur, and humans wash themselves.

Beyond external grooming, self-cleaning can refer to internal physiological processes. The human body, for example, has several systems dedicated to eliminating waste. The kidneys filter blood to remove metabolic byproducts and excess salts, which are then excreted as urine. The liver detoxifies harmful substances, and the digestive system removes undigested food and waste. Even the lungs contribute by expelling carbon dioxide.

In a broader sense, the concept of self-cleaning can extend to ecological systems, where natural processes help to maintain environmental balance and remove pollutants. However, the primary usage of "öntisztulásuk" typically pertains to the inherent capabilities of living beings to manage their own cleanliness and waste removal.
