Adaptive Biology: How the Body Maintains Control

The body is a self-regulating system, constantly adapting to internal and external changes to maintain balance and function. Through complex feedback loops involving the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, it responds to stress, repairs damage, and adjusts to environmental cues. From temperature regulation to immune modulation, these adaptive processes help preserve homeostasis. When functioning properly, this biological flexibility protects health; but when disrupted, it can lead to chronic imbalances. Understanding adaptive biology reveals how the body stays resilient—and what happens when control is lost.
