körforgásokól

körforgásokól is a Hungarian term that historically refers to the study and description of circulatory processes within organisms. The word derives from the noun körforgás, meaning circulation, combined with the suffix –kól, which in older Hungarian medical texts indicated a category or class. In the 19th‑century physiologist literature, körforgásokól denoted a systematic approach to mapping blood flow through the cardiovascular system, distinguishing between primary and secondary circulatory pathways. The concept was introduced by Mihály Csontváry, a pioneer in comparative anatomy, who emphasized the importance of the sinus venosus and the aortic arch as central nodes in the körforgásokól schema.

In practice, the term was used in laboratory manuals to label diagrammatic representations of arterial loops and venous plexuses. It also appeared in veterinary texts, particularly in the context of equine and bovine circulatory health, where specific patterns were identified as indicative of disease states. Contemporary Hungarian physiology has largely replaced körforgásokól with more precise English-derived terminology, yet the term remains cited in historical reviews of cardiovascular research and in the lexicon of Hungarian medical folklore.

The concept of körforgásokól illustrates an era when localized terms aimed to encapsulate complex biological phenomena, providing a concise reference for scholars and practitioners of the time.
