poprzecznych

Poprzeczny is a Polish adjective meaning transverse or crosswise, used to describe something oriented across a main axis or direction. It applies across different technical and scientific fields, including geometry, anatomy, botany, and engineering, wherever a crosswise arrangement or orientation is specified. In everyday language it can describe lines, planes, structures, or tissues that run perpendicular or across another reference.

Morphology and usage: poprzeczny follows normal Polish adjective inflection. The base word has forms that agree with the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies, for example poprzeczny (masculine singular), poprzeczna (feminine singular), poprzeczne (neuter or plural for some cases), with poprzecznych serving as the genitive plural or accusative plural form. In phrases such as linie poprzeczne or kanały poprzeczne, the form corresponds to the feminine plural or to the required case. The sense remains crosswise regardless of the exact grammatical ending.

Common contexts: in geometry, linie poprzeczne describe lines running across a reference direction; in anatomy, mięsień poprzeczny brzucha refers to the transverse abdominal muscle whose fibers run horizontally; in anatomy and biology, terms like przegroda poprzeczna or kanaly poprzeczne denote transverse partitions or canals. In engineering and architecture, poprzeczny describes cross members, braces, or supports that cross a main structure.

See also: transverse, cross-section. The term is primarily descriptive, used wherever a crosswise orientation is relevant in Polish technical and scientific vocabulary.
