Bio-Physiological Autonomy

Meaning

Bio-Physiological Autonomy describes the inherent, self-governing capability of the human organism to regulate its internal biological and physiological processes, maintaining a stable state of homeostasis independent of continuous external intervention. This fundamental capacity encompasses the intricate, non-conscious control systems that manage essential functions like hormone secretion, metabolic rate, and core body temperature. A high degree of autonomy signifies a resilient system capable of effectively neutralizing internal and external perturbations. Preserving this intrinsic regulatory capacity is a primary goal in preventative endocrinology.
