RESUMO
ENDOBIOGENY AND THE BIOLOGY OF FUNCTIONS ARE BASED ON FOUR SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS THAT ARE KNOWN AND GENERALLY ACCEPTED: (1) human physiology is complex and multifactorial and exhibits the properties of a system; (2) the endocrine system manages metabolism, which is the basis of the continuity of life; (3) the metabolic activity managed by the endocrine system results in the output of biomarkers that reflect the functional achievement of specific aspects of metabolism; and (4) when biomarkers are related to each other in ratios, it contextualizes one type of function relative to another to which is it linked anatomically, sequentially, chronologically, biochemically, etc.
