Biological System Feedback Loops

Meaning

Biological system feedback loops are intrinsic regulatory mechanisms within human physiology where the output of a system influences its own input, maintaining a dynamic state of internal balance known as homeostasis. These loops are fundamental to endocrinology, controlling hormone secretion, body temperature, blood glucose, and other vital parameters. Clinically, understanding these loops is essential because disruption or maladaptation within them is the root cause of many chronic diseases and hormonal imbalances.
