Endogenous Command

Meaning

Endogenous Command refers to the internal, self-generated biological instructions that autonomously govern essential physiological processes within the body. These commands manifest as innate, cyclical patterns, such as the pulsatile release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) or the precise timing of the circadian rhythm. This fundamental concept highlights the body’s intrinsic intelligence and its capacity to maintain complex, synchronized homeostasis without external intervention. Clinical practice often focuses on supporting these natural commands rather than overriding them.
