Neuro-Endocrine Control

Meaning

Neuro-Endocrine Control is the overarching physiological strategy by which the central nervous system and the peripheral endocrine glands work in concert to manage and regulate complex bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, reproduction, and the adaptation to stress. This system represents the highest level of homeostatic regulation, ensuring that all organ systems are precisely coordinated to maintain internal stability in the face of fluctuating internal and external conditions. Its integrity is fundamental to overall health and longevity.
