Physiological Reaction

Meaning

A Physiological Reaction is a quantifiable, dynamic biological response of an organism or its specific systems to a change in internal or external conditions, serving to maintain or restore homeostasis. These reactions can range from a rapid neural reflex to the slow, orchestrated hormonal changes of the stress response. Understanding the precise nature of these reactions is central to clinical diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring in endocrinology.
