Pulmonális

Pulmonális is a Hungarian adjective meaning relating to the lungs or the pulmonary system. It is derived from the Latin pulmonis and formed with the Hungarian suffix -ális. The term is used primarily in medical and scientific language to describe anatomical structures, physiological processes, and diseases connected to the lungs.

In Hungarian, pulmonális appears in contexts such as anatomy, physiology, and pathology. Common usages include phrases like pulmonális funkció (lung function) and pulmonális keringés (pulmonary circulation). It can also modify terms referring to lung-related organs or conditions, for example pulmonális artéria (pulmonary artery) or pulmonális betegségek (lung diseases). In everyday language, the simpler form tüdő- is often preferred, depending on the audience and setting.

The related field is pulmonológia (pulmonology), which studies the respiratory system, its diseases, and their treatment. The term pulmonális is frequently found in international medical literature and in cross-language discussions of respiratory medicine, serving as the direct Hungarian equivalent of the English term “pulmonary.”

Note that pulmonális is specifically used to denote lung-related aspects and should not be confused with non-respiratory terms. It forms part of the broader medical vocabulary describing the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the lungs.
