Heterometric regulation

Heterometric regulation refers to a way that biological systems control their functions based on changes in different physical parameters, like the levels of a molecule or the pressure within a cell. In simple terms, it’s like adjusting a thermostat; when conditions change (like temperature or hormone levels), the body responds by activating or deactivating certain processes to maintain balance. This mechanism allows organisms to adapt to varying environments and demands efficiently, ensuring that vital functions operate smoothly, even if the surrounding conditions fluctuate.
