Physiological Regulation

Meaning

Physiological Regulation is the fundamental biological process by which all living systems maintain internal stability, known as homeostasis, despite constant internal and external disturbances. This continuous, active process involves coordinated adjustments and feedback loops across all organ systems to keep essential variables, such as body temperature, blood glucose concentration, and circulating hormone levels, within a narrow, healthy range. Effective regulation is a defining characteristic of health and adaptive capacity.
