Membránzártságú

Membránzártságú is a Hungarian term that translates to "membrane-sealed" or "hermetically sealed by a membrane" in English. It describes a state or characteristic where a barrier, specifically a membrane, creates a complete seal, preventing the passage of substances or energy. This concept is most commonly encountered in the fields of biology, medicine, and materials science.

In a biological context, membránzártságú refers to the integrity of cell membranes or organelle membranes. These membranes act as selective barriers, controlling what enters and leaves a cell or organelle. When a membrane is described as membránzártságú, it implies that it is functioning correctly, maintaining its structure, and effectively preventing unwanted leakage or diffusion. This is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and function.

In materials science, the term can be applied to engineered materials or devices that utilize membranes for sealing purposes. For instance, a packaging material designed to preserve food might be described as membránzártságú if its membrane layer effectively prevents the exchange of gases or moisture with the external environment, thereby extending shelf life. Similarly, in some medical devices, such as implants or drug delivery systems, a membrane's sealed nature is essential for its intended function and safety. The degree of membránzártságú is often a critical performance indicator for such applications, dictating the effectiveness of the seal.
