Autochthonous is a term used to describe something that originated or was formed in the place where it is found. It has the following meanings:
-
Local, remaining in the place of formation. For example, a blood clot that is not transported with the bloodstream but remains at the site of its formation is called autochthonous.
-
Occurring in any organ of the human body without external stimulation (for example, heartbeat).
Thus, autochthonous means something that originated and grows where it is without being moved or stimulated from outside. This term is often used in medicine, biology and geology.
Autochthonous are local elements that remain at the site of formation, for example, blood clots. They are formed inside the body and are not transported outside with the bloodstream. The formation of autochthons is a natural reaction of the body to various pathological processes, such as bleeding or inflammation, and represents a protective reaction to infection or injury.
