Beültetést

Beültetés is a Hungarian term that translates to "implantation" or "grafting" in English. It broadly refers to the process of placing something into a living organism, often with the intent of integration or therapeutic benefit. This can encompass various medical and biological contexts.

In a medical context, beültetés most commonly refers to the surgical implantation of a medical device or biological material into the body. Examples include the implantation of pacemakers to regulate heart rhythm, artificial joints to replace damaged ones, or cochlear implants to restore hearing. It can also refer to the transplantation of organs or tissues, such as kidney transplants or skin grafts, where a healthy organ or tissue is placed into a recipient. The success of beültetés often depends on the body's ability to accept the implanted material and prevent rejection.

Beyond human medicine, the term can also be used in veterinary science for similar procedures on animals. In botany, beültetés can describe the process of grafting, where a part of one plant is joined to another so they can grow together. This technique is used to propagate desirable traits or to repair damaged plants. The underlying principle across these uses of beültetés is the introduction of an external element into a living system with the aim of a functional outcome.
