System Control Feedback

Meaning

System Control Feedback is the physiological mechanism by which the output of a biological system is monitored and used to regulate the input or activity of that same system, thereby maintaining a state of dynamic equilibrium or homeostasis. In endocrinology, this involves the precise, reciprocal communication between the hypothalamus, pituitary, and peripheral endocrine glands, such as the gonads or adrenals. Effective feedback is essential for maintaining the stability of hormone levels and preventing runaway production or deficiency, ensuring the body’s optimal functional state.
