Physiological Self-Regulation

Meaning

Physiological Self-Regulation is the body’s intrinsic, dynamic capacity to maintain internal stability and balance, known as homeostasis, across all major biological systems despite constant fluctuations in the internal and external environment. This essential function involves complex, interconnected feedback loops, particularly those mediated by the nervous and endocrine systems, which adjust vital parameters like body temperature, blood glucose, and hormone levels. Optimal self-regulation is the foundation of resilience and healthspan.
