OCCLUDES Meaning and
Definition
-
"Occludes" is a verb that refers to the action of blocking, obstructing, or closing something off, either partially or completely, preventing the passage of something through it. This term is often used to describe physical barriers or obstacles that impede the flow of a substance, such as air, liquid, or light.
In a medical context, "occludes" can also refer to the process of blocking a blood vessel or causing the closure of a passage or tube in the human body. This can occur due to a clot, plaque buildup, or other factors, resulting in restricted blood flow or the obstruction of bodily functions.
Another usage of the term "occludes" relates to the process of closing or sealing off certain dental surfaces. For example, when a dentist places a filling, it occludes the cavity, preventing further decay and protecting the tooth from potential damage.
The act of occlusion can also be applied figuratively, as a verb that describes the action of concealing or hiding something, creating a barrier between the concealed object and the outside world. This can be seen in psychological terms, where certain thoughts or emotions are occluded from conscious awareness, or in a social context, where someone may occlude their true feelings or intentions in order to present a different image to others.
