kehonsisäinen

Kehonsisäinen is a Finnish term that translates to "intracorporeal" in English. It describes something that occurs or exists within the body. This term is commonly used in medical and biological contexts to differentiate processes or substances from those that are external or applied to the body's surface.

For instance, in medicine, a kehonsisäinen procedure might refer to an operation or treatment performed entirely within the body cavity, as opposed to an external one. Similarly, a kehonsisäinen infection means the infection is located inside the body. The term can also apply to substances, such as kehonsisäinen medications, which are administered internally, for example, orally or intravenously, rather than topically.

In a broader sense, kehonsisäinen can also relate to physiological processes that happen within the body's systems, like metabolism or hormone production. Understanding whether something is kehonsisäinen or ulkoinen (external) is crucial for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and scientific communication in fields related to health and the human body.
