Biological Regulation Precision

Meaning

This term refers to the exactitude and accuracy with which the body’s homeostatic systems maintain physiological parameters within their optimal, narrow ranges. High precision implies minimal deviation and rapid, appropriate corrective responses to internal or external perturbations. It encompasses the finely tuned control of core processes like glucose metabolism, blood pressure, and circadian rhythmicity. A clinical manifestation of aging is often a measurable loss of this inherent biological regulation precision, leading to increased allostatic load.
