Endogeenisillä

Endogeenisillä is a Finnish term that translates to "endogenous" in English. It is used in various scientific and medical contexts to describe something originating from within an organism, system, or process.

In biology and medicine, endogeenisillä refers to substances, processes, or conditions that arise internally. For example, endogenous hormones are produced by the body's own glands, as opposed to exogenous hormones which are administered from an external source. Similarly, endogenous pain is generated within the body's nervous system, while exogenous pain is caused by external stimuli like injury.

The concept also applies to biological rhythms, such as circadian rhythms, which are internal biological clocks that regulate sleep-wake cycles and other bodily functions. These are considered endogeenisillä because they are generated by internal physiological mechanisms, although they can be influenced by external cues like light.

In geology, endogeenisillä forces are those that originate within the Earth, such as volcanic activity or tectonic plate movements, in contrast to exogeenisillä forces like erosion caused by wind and water.

The term highlights the internal origin or cause of a phenomenon, distinguishing it from external factors. Its usage emphasizes the self-generating or intrinsic nature of a process or substance within a given system.
