Physiologic Equilibrium

Meaning

Physiologic Equilibrium, often referred to as homeostasis, is the dynamic state of balance within the internal environment of the human body, essential for sustaining life and optimal function. This critical state is characterized by the constant, active regulation of key biological parameters, including core body temperature, blood glucose levels, pH, and hormonal concentrations. Maintaining equilibrium is paramount, as even minor deviations can trigger compensatory mechanisms that lead to stress and eventual pathology. The goal of clinical intervention is often to restore or reinforce this fundamental balance.
