periferních

Periferní is a Czech adjective meaning peripheral, located on the edge or away from the center. It is used to describe anatomical structures, physiological processes, or components of a system that are outside its central part. The term is derived from periphery (periferie) and is common in medical, biological, and technical vocabulary. In Czech, periferní declines like other adjectives; the genitive plural form is periferních.

In medicine and biology, periferní describes nerves, vessels, organs, or regions outside the central nervous system or central circulatory axis, such as periferní nervový systém (peripheral nervous system) or periferní krevní cévy (peripheral blood vessels). In computer science and general technology, periferní zařízení refers to devices connected to a computer but not part of its core architecture.

In everyday language, periferní can also denote less central or secondary aspects of a topic, though this usage is more common in technical contexts. The opposite term is centrální, meaning central.
