Hormonal Homeostasis

Hormonal homeostasis is the body's way of maintaining a balanced internal environment through hormones, which are chemical messengers. When parts of the body like the brain, glands, or organs detect changes—such as stress, temperature, or nutrient levels—they release hormones to adjust bodily functions accordingly. For example, if blood sugar levels rise, the pancreas releases insulin to lower it. This regulation process ensures all systems operate smoothly, preventing overreactions or deficiencies, and keeps your body stable and healthy.
