hártyán

Hártyán is a term of Hungarian origin that translates to "membrane" or "thin layer." It is most commonly used in a biological context to refer to the delicate tissues that line organs, cavities, or separate structures within the body. This can include structures like mucous membranes, which secrete mucus to lubricate and protect surfaces, or serous membranes, which form sacs that enclose organs and reduce friction. Examples include the pleura surrounding the lungs, the peritoneum lining the abdominal cavity, and the pericardium around the heart.

Beyond its biological applications, the term "hártyán" can also be used more generally to describe any thin, flexible sheet or film. This might include natural materials like the thin skin of an onion or artificial materials such as plastic films. The core concept remains a thin, pliable barrier. In specific technical fields, the precise nature and function of the "hártyán" would be further defined by its surrounding context. Its etymological roots point to a fundamental descriptor of thinness and covering.
