Self-Regulation Systems

Meaning

Self-Regulation Systems refer to the body’s intrinsic, complex network of homeostatic feedback loops, primarily involving the endocrine and nervous systems, that continuously monitor and adjust internal parameters to maintain a stable, optimal physiological state. These critical systems include the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis for stress response, the thyroid axis for metabolism, and the gonadal axes for reproductive function and vitality. The integrity, responsiveness, and speed of these systems are direct indicators of an individual’s resilience and capacity to adapt to internal and external challenges.
