Biological Feedback Control

Meaning

Biological Feedback Control represents the fundamental physiological mechanism by which the body maintains internal stability, or homeostasis, through a continuous loop of sensing, integrating, and responding to changes in internal and external conditions. This regulatory system is essential across all biological scales, from cellular metabolism to the complex interactions of the endocrine and nervous systems. In hormonal health, this control dictates the precise secretion and inhibition of hormones, ensuring that circulating levels remain within a narrow, functional range necessary for optimal health.
