Such a dynamic equilibrium or balance
The ability of a system or living organism to adjust its internal environment to maintain a stable equilibrium; such as the ability of warm-blooded animals to maintain a constant temperature
Steady state in the internal environment of the body (e g temperature, electrolyte balance, respiration, heart rate)
Homeostasis has been defined as the "coordinated physiological processes which maintain most of the steady states in the organism" (Cannon, 1939) The term 'sleep homeostasis' refers to the sleep-wake dependent aspect of sleep regulation Thus homeostatic mechanisms counteract deviations of sleep from an average "reference level" by augmenting sleep propensity when sleep is curtailed or absent, and reducing sleep propensity in response to excess sleep
A relative constancy in the internal environment of the body In healthy individuals, homeostasis is maintained by adaptive responses that control, for example, temperature, hormone secretions, and rates of cell growth
metabolic equilibrium actively maintained by several complex biological mechanisms that operate via the autonomic nervous system to offset disrupting changes
A Greek word used in biology to describe the balancing act required to keep a complicated system functioning For the immune system, homeostasis refers to maintaining the balance of different cell types (naive, memory, B-cells, CD4 T-cells, CD8 T-cells) required for healthy immune function
A state of balanced function in the body
Any self-regulating process by which a biological or mechanical system maintains stability while adjusting to changing conditions. Systems in dynamic equilibrium reach a balance in which internal change continuously compensates for external change in a feedback control process to keep conditions relatively uniform. An example is temperature regulation mechanically in a room by a thermostat or biologically in the body by a complex system controlled by the hypothalamus, which adjusts breathing and metabolic rates, blood-vessel dilation, and blood-sugar level in response to changes caused by factors including ambient temperature, hormones, and disease
the body's physiological equilibrium
A term applied to living systems which maintain a relatively constant internal environment It implies that action takes place within the organism to regulate the status of its extracellular fluid, and to keep the state of that fluid constant This state would include solute concentration, pH, volume and temperature, as well as many other variables
In medicine and biology, this term is applied to the inherent tendency in an organism toward maintenance of physiological and psychological stability
An ability of the body to maintain stability
control of an organism's internal environment Water content, temperature, acid-base balance, level of oxygen and carbon dioxide, adequate supply of energy are some of the many factors in the organism which require monitoring and control A common form of control is feedback
Resistance to change The ability of a system to self-regulate and maintain a particular state
the ability to maintain a relatively constant internal environment
In biology used to describe a condition where an organism maintains a stable structure where in fact a constant flux of molecules occurs Although many organisms can live for years, all cellular components like proteins, membranes, sugars, and nucleic acids are constantly recycled while never compromising the integrity of the organism as a whole This turnover processes can be characterized by specific half-life values that for most proteins, membranes, and RNA (but not DNA structures) are measured in hours In a more narrow sense homeostasis refers to the maintenance of water and salt concentration in cells
the body's search for balance that takes place constantly as the nervous system adjusts to demands of the environment and directs thousands of internal responses that maintain equilibrium
A living thing's ability to maintain a chemical and thermo balance regardless of outside influences For example, the human body is homeostatic because it can maintain a constant body temperature of 98 6 degrees Fahrenheit SeaQuest's Bio-Genetic Skin is homeostatic
Literally, the stillness of sameness A state of stability
{i} tendency of a system to safeguard internal stability
Homeostasis is the physiological process by which the internal systems of the body (e g blood pressure, body temperature, acid-base balance) are maintained at equilibrium despite variations in the external conditions
The innate tendency to marshal one's resources in an effort to maintain a consistent inner state; in Mentoring, elicits G A P in the context of Stretch Goals
The tendency of a system, especially the physiological system of higher animals, to maintain internal stability, owing to the coordinated response of its parts to any situation or stimulus tending to disturb its normal condition or function Capacity to adapt
1 Maintenance of static or constant conditions in the internal environment; 2 The level of well-being of an individual maintained by internal physiologic harmony; it is the result of a relatively stable state or equilibrium among the interdependent body functions
Physiological condition that regulates the rate of metabolism
The process of keeping the internal environment of the body stable while the outside world changes
(1) An important process or mechanisms of an organism (perhaps biotic community) for regulation (perhaps pre-disposed self-regulation) toward a constant or standard condition All communities, except possibly the very simplest types, appear to contain regulatory mechanisms that enable them to adjust to the changing conditions of their physical environments (2) The maintenance of a high degree of uniformity in functions of an organism or interactions of individuals in a population or community under changing environmental conditions The constant function or status that results from the capabilities of organisms to make compensatory adjustments (Negative feedback is at work )
maintainence of an optimum set of conditions
The state of sustained equilibrium in which all cells, and all life forms, exist (According to the "strong" Gaia hypothesis, the atmosphere/biosphere system also exists in homeostasis ) An organism in homeostasis adapts to changed environmental conditions by adjusting its own internal state; for example, cold-blooded animals and warm-blooded animals that hibernate adjust to colder temperatures by changing their own internal temperature, so that their entire system may remain in homeostasis (Source: Mintzer, 1992)
