Sisäsyntyistä

Sisäsyntyistä is a Finnish term that translates to "endogenous" or "innate" in English. It describes something that originates from within a system or organism, rather than being introduced from an external source. The term is often used in various scientific and medical contexts.

In medicine, sisäsyntyistä refers to conditions or processes that arise from within the body's own biological mechanisms. For example, an endogenous fever is one that originates from internal bodily responses, as opposed to an external infection. Similarly, endogenous hormones are produced by the body itself. This distinguishes them from exogenous substances, which are introduced from outside, such as externally administered medications.

The concept of sisäsyntyistä can also be applied in broader contexts. For instance, in economics, endogenous growth theory suggests that economic growth is driven by internal factors like innovation and human capital, rather than external forces. In psychology, endogenous depression is a type of depression believed to stem from internal biological or genetic factors, as opposed to reactive depression caused by external life events. The core idea is always about internal origin and self-generation.
