Endocrine System Boundaries

Meaning

Endocrine System Boundaries delineate the functional and physiological limits of the body’s hormonal signaling network, encompassing the glands, their secreted hormones, and the regulatory axes that govern systemic communication. These boundaries are defined by the specific homeostatic set points, receptor saturation thresholds, and feedback loop sensitivities that maintain hormone concentrations within a narrow, optimal range. Understanding these limits is paramount for accurate diagnosis and the safe, effective implementation of exogenous hormone therapies.
