Physiological Equilibrium, or homeostasis, is the dynamic state where the body’s internal environment, including temperature, fluid balance, and crucial circulating hormone concentrations, is actively maintained within narrow, life-sustaining limits. This balance is achieved through complex feedback loops.
Origin
Equilibrium refers to a state of balance, derived from Latin roots meaning ‘equal’ and ‘weight,’ applied to the totality of physiological variables that must remain balanced for optimal function. It is the foundational principle of internal stability.
Mechanism
Equilibrium is maintained via continuous negative feedback mechanisms orchestrated primarily by the nervous and endocrine systems. For instance, the thyroid axis constantly adjusts TSH and T4/T3 secretion to maintain target metabolic rates, actively counteracting internal or external deviations.
