Biological System Migration

Meaning

Biological System Migration describes the physiological phenomenon where the primary functional burden or compensatory activity shifts from one biological system to another in response to chronic stress or age-related decline. This dynamic shift often occurs when a core regulatory system, such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, begins to lose its capacity to maintain homeostasis, forcing other systems to assume a compensatory role. The body attempts to sustain critical functions, but this migration often leads to sub-optimal resource allocation and new systemic vulnerabilities.
