Somatickým

Somatickým is the instrumental singular masculine form of the Czech adjective somatický, meaning somatic or bodily. It is used to describe phenomena related to the body in medical, biological, philosophical, and everyday language. As a grammatical form, somatickým accompanies masculine nouns in the instrumental case, for example somatickým způsobem (in a somatic manner) or somatickým systémem (by a somatic system).

Etymology and scope: somatický derives from Greek soma, meaning body, and commonly denotes relations to the physical body as distinct from mental, spiritual, or functional aspects. In Czech, somatický is widely used in medical and scientific contexts to differentiate bodily processes from psychological or behavioral ones.

Contexts and examples: In biology and medicine, somatické buňky are somatic cells, contrasted with germ cells. In neuroscience and physiology, one can encounter terms like somatický nervový systém (the somatic nervous system) or discussions of somatickým nervovým systémem in instrumental construction. In clinical language, somatické symptomy refer to bodily symptoms, as opposed to exclusively psychological phenomena. The instrumental form somatickým enables phrases that indicate manner, means, or involvement of bodily aspects, such as somatickým způsobem or somatickým systémem.

Notes: Somatickým is a specialized grammatical form rather than a standalone concept. Its use helps specify that the described attribute or action concerns the body, aligning with related terms such as somatický, somatologie, and somatické buňky.
