Homeostatic Control Systems

Meaning

Homeostatic Control Systems are the complex, integrated physiological mechanisms that actively maintain the stability of the body’s internal environment despite continuous external and internal fluctuations. These systems operate through sophisticated feedback loops to keep critical variables, such as core body temperature, blood glucose concentration, and hormone levels, within a narrow, life-sustaining range. The endocrine system is a major component, using hormones as messengers to achieve systemic balance.
