    GlossaryHormonal Regulation

    body's control of hormone levels for balanced physiological functions

    Hormonal regulation refers to the body's process of controlling and balancing the levels of hormones, which are chemical messengers that influence various physiological activities such as growth, metabolism, and mood. This regulation is crucial for maintaining homeostasis, and it involves feedback mechanisms where glands like the thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal glands release hormones in response to signals from the body, ensuring that each hormone is present in the right amount at the right time.
