Abstract

The main condition of completing the process of adaptation of the body to the effect of an external factor is the return of the homeostatic system parameters to their initial levels or their stabilization at a new level. The article considers the state of incomplete adaptation (IA) based on the process of the stabilization of systemic reactions (respiration and blood circulation) on repeated exposure to extreme environmental factors (hypoxia and cold) associated with the excitation of the central regulatory mechanisms of the respiratory center system performing a compensatory–protective function. It is postulated that a change in the afferent information flows (the thresholds of excitation and reactivity of the peripheral receptor systems) forms the basis of IA. The IA state is supposed to persist for an indefinitely long period of time due to insufficient functional reserves and to be the cause of psychosomatic pathology.
