Biological Feedback Loops

Meaning

Biological Feedback Loops are intrinsic regulatory mechanisms essential for maintaining physiological stability, known as homeostasis, through self-regulating control systems. These loops involve a stimulus that initiates a process, and the resulting output of that process subsequently influences the initiation or magnitude of the original stimulus. They are the foundational architecture of endocrine control. Without them, hormonal concentrations would fluctuate wildly.
