Physiological Integrity

Meaning

Physiological Integrity refers to the essential maintenance of the body’s internal environment—its state of homeostasis—within narrow, functional limits necessary for optimal cellular and organ system performance across time. This involves the stable regulation of fluid balance, core temperature, pH buffering, and critical hormone concentrations at appropriate levels. Preserving this integrity is the primary, overarching objective of diligent clinical endocrinology.
