Physiological Equilibrium

Meaning

Physiological equilibrium, synonymous with homeostasis, is the dynamic state of internal balance maintained by an organism through the coordinated regulation of its various physiological processes. This stable internal environment is characterized by optimal set points for variables such as body temperature, blood glucose concentration, pH, and hormonal levels. The body constantly employs adaptive mechanisms to resist external and internal disturbances, ensuring cellular function remains viable.
