Biological Function

Meaning

Biological function describes the specific, inherent activity or purpose a molecule, cell, organ, or system performs within a living organism to maintain homeostasis and survival. In the context of hormonal health, this refers to the precise roles hormones, receptors, and metabolic pathways execute, such as regulating growth, metabolism, or reproduction. Understanding these roles is essential for diagnosing and addressing systemic imbalances. The efficiency of these functions dictates the overall health and adaptive capacity of the organism.
