Biological Systems Maintenance

Meaning

Biological Systems Maintenance refers to the collective, continuous, and highly regulated physiological processes that ensure the stability, integrity, and functional capacity of an organism’s intricate internal networks over time. This foundational concept in human physiology encompasses all homeostatic mechanisms, including endocrine feedback loops, cellular repair, and immune surveillance. Successful systems maintenance is the primary determinant of healthspan and longevity, directly correlating with the resilience of the neuroendocrine-immune axis. The goal of clinical wellness is often framed as optimizing these inherent maintenance systems against entropic decay.
