Homeostasis and Health: From Balance to Change | Biological Theory link.springer.com Oct 14, 2025 8 facts
claimThe interpretation of homeostatic regulation proposed by Bechtel and Bich posits that the values of physiological variables are the results of the interplay of different regulatory mechanisms, rather than being the targets or goals of those mechanisms.
claimRegulatory mechanisms in organisms do not solely function by conservatively counteracting perturbations that threaten balance or survival; they also operate based on sensed environmental features.
claimRegulatory mechanisms in organisms operate based on the specific features of the environment they sense, but they do not only respond conservatively by counteracting perturbations; they also adapt to settings such as day and night cycles, seasons, and life cycle stages.
claimThe continuum of health is defined by the action of regulatory mechanisms and environmental conditions.
claimFor homeostatic mechanisms to maintain a system, regulatory mechanisms must operate both within and across the participating entities, which requires metabolic co-dependencies.
claimRegulatory mechanisms in organisms are sensitive to internal and external environmental features, often integrating information from multiple sources and variables to coordinate a set of activities.
claimIndividuals use regulatory mechanisms to navigate between healthy conditions, sickness, and recovery throughout their lives.
claimFor a larger entity (such as a host–microbiota relationship) to be considered a self-maintaining system, it must possess metabolic co-dependencies and regulatory mechanisms that operate both within and across the participating entities.
The New Field of Network Physiology: Building the Human ... frontiersin.org 2 facts
claimNetwork physiology requires a cross-scale perspective to investigate multi-scale regulatory mechanisms, addressing the heterogeneity, multi-modality, and complexity of physiological processes.
claimThe human organism functions as an integrated network where multi-component physiological systems, each possessing its own regulatory mechanism, continuously interact to coordinate their functions.
Homeostasis: The Underappreciated and Far Too Often ... - Frontiers frontiersin.org 1 fact
claimThe interaction of regulatory mechanisms in biological systems increases system stability and provides redundancy, ensuring that the failure of a single component does not necessarily lead to system catastrophe.
