Physiological homeostasis maintains equilibrium at set-points using feedback loops for optimum functioning of the organism. Long-term imbalances in homeostasis arise though genetic, environmental or biopsychosocial mechanisms causing illness and/or loss of well-being.
Physiological equilibrium is maintained by feedback loops that ensure optimal organism function. Long-term disruptions in homeostasis result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and biopsychosocial factors that contribute to illness and/or diminished well-being.
