Endogenous Control Systems

Meaning

Endogenous Control Systems are the complex, self-regulating biological networks and intricate feedback loops that originate from within the organism, functioning to maintain physiological stability and ensure robust adaptation in the face of internal and external environmental changes. These systems, which include the finely tuned endocrine, nervous, and immune systems, are collectively responsible for maintaining homeostasis across all levels of biological organization, from cellular energy metabolism to integrated organ system performance. Their optimal and coordinated function is the absolute cornerstone of systemic resilience and long-term healthspan.
