Bunkách

Bunkách is the locative plural form of the Czech noun buňka, which means a cell. In standard orthography the form is buňkách; when diacritics are omitted, the form appears as bunkách. The term is used primarily in biology and related sciences to indicate a cellular level or locations inside tissues, organs, or organisms.

Usage and meaning are centered on cellular contexts. Buňka refers to the basic unit of life, and bunkách is used when describing where processes occur or where observations are made, for example in phrases like v buňkách (in the cells) or o buňkách (about the cells). The form buněk přednáškách or similar variations may appear in scientific writing to specify plural locative location.

Examples of usage in Czech include: V buňkách nervové soustavy se odehrávají klíčové procesy. Ve studii se autoři zaměřili na změny v buňkách během stárnutí. These illustrate how bunkách functions to express location within cellular contexts rather than physical compartments like prison cells, which use celách.

Notes: buňka is the general term for a cell; bunkách is its locative plural form used in reference to cells within larger structures or processes. The non-diacritic variant bunkách may appear in ASCII texts or older sources, but buňkách is the standard modern spelling.
