- (physiology) metabolic equilibrium actively maintained by several complex biological mechanisms that operate via the autonomic nervous system to offset disrupting changes
- (homeostatic) related to or characterized by homeostasis
- Homeostasis or homoeostasis is the property of a system in which a variable (for example, the concentration of a substance in solution, or its temperature) is actively regulated to remain very nearly constant. This regulation occurs inside a defined environment (mostly within a living organismu2019s body)...
- 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; Such a dynamic equilibrium or balance
- (HOMEOSTATIC) To be in a state of equilibrium; population sizes in a top-down community are kept in check by the external factor of predation.
- (homeostatic) (homeostasis, n.) the balanced state of the living body (i.e. temperature, chemistry, blood pressure, sleep and wakefulness, and so on), despite variations in the environment.
- Maintenance of a relatively stable or balanced internal body state despite environmental fluctuations. The tendency in an organism toward maintenance of physiological and psychological stability.
- Maintenance of the body's internal environment.
- The process of keeping the internal environment of the body stable while the outside world changes.
