membránnál

The term "membránnál" is derived from the Hungarian word "membrán," which means a membrane. In Hungarian, the suffix "-nál" is a locative marker indicating "at the location of" or "in the presence of" something. Therefore, "membránnál" literally translates to "at the membrane" or "in the vicinity of a membrane." This construction is often used in scientific contexts within Hungarian texts, particularly in biology and physiology, to describe phenomena occurring on or near a biological membrane.

Biologically, membranes are semi‑permeable structures that separate and protect internal cellular components from the external environment. They consist mainly of phospholipid bilayers interspersed with proteins, cholesterol, and carbohydrates, allowing selective transport of ions, molecules, and signals. Membranes play critical roles in cellular processes such as signal transduction, energy production, and material transport.

In research literature and laboratory reports written in Hungarian, one might encounter phrases like "membránnál mértek a tápanyagcsere sebességét" ("they measured the nutrient metabolism rate at the membrane") or "a membránnál ismerőst szerzett sejthelyezésű csöveknek" ("they gained knowledge of cell-transport tubes near the membrane"). These uses emphasize that the described processes or experiments are localized to the membrane region.

Thus, "membránnál" serves as a concise and precise linguistic tool in Hungarian scientific writing, enabling clear spatial description of cellular events relative to membrane structures.
