It highlights that the semantic interaction between the analyzed terminological systems is driven by the increasing integration of technical and natural sciences. The technical metaphor is identified based on the use of the source domain \u201cTechnology\u201d within the biological terminological system. The study establishes that the relevance of the \u201ctechnology\u201d terminological sphere as a source domain of metaphors in scientific discourse is a result of rapid technological progress. Through the analysis of dictionary definitions, the evolution of the semantics of technical terms within the biological terminological system is traced.<br \/>\nModels of technical metaphor in biological terminology have been identified (device \/ instrument \/ mechanism \u2192 organism \/ organ; part of a device \/ instrument \u2192 part of an organism \/ organ; name of a technical process \u2192 name of a biological process). These models illustrate that metaphor remains a crucial element of scientific discourse and continues to play a productive role in the nomination of biological concepts.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Keywords<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Ukrainian language, metaphor, biological terminology, technical terminology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>References:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Avramenko, O.B.
