Endogenous Stimulation

Meaning

Endogenous Stimulation refers to the activation or prompting of a physiological process, cell, or system by a substance, signal, or factor that originates from within the organism itself. In the context of endocrinology, this typically involves the natural production and release of hormones, neuropeptides, or growth factors that bind to their respective receptors to elicit a biological response. This internal signaling is fundamental to maintaining homeostatic balance and coordinating complex biological functions.
