Félmembrános

Félmembrános is a Hungarian term that translates to "semi-membranous" in English. It is primarily used in the context of anatomy and biology to describe structures that are partially enclosed by a membrane or are composed of membranous tissue to a certain extent. This designation distinguishes them from fully membranous structures, which are entirely surrounded by a membrane, or from non-membranous tissues.

In anatomical descriptions, félmembrános might refer to certain muscles, organs, or parts of organs where a membranous component is significant but not complete. For instance, a particular muscle might have a substantial aponeurosis, a broad, flat sheet of fibrous connective tissue, which could be described as félmembrános if it forms a partial covering or attachment. Similarly, a sac or cavity within the body might be considered félmembrános if its walls are partly composed of a thin, membranous layer.

The term is also applicable in describing cellular or subcellular structures. For example, organelles within a cell that possess a membrane but are not entirely enclosed by it, or structures that are in the process of forming or breaking down their membranous boundaries, might be categorized as félmembrános. The precise meaning can vary depending on the specific biological context, but the core idea remains the partial presence of a membrane or membranous tissue.
