2. Homeostasis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostasis

   All homeostatic control mechanisms have at least three interdependent components for the variable being regulated: a receptor, a control center, and an effector. [3] The receptor is the sensing component that monitors and responds to changes in the environment, either external or internal. Receptors include thermoreceptors and mechanoreceptors.

3. Human thermoregulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_thermoregulation

   As in other mammals, human thermoregulation is an important aspect of homeostasis. In thermoregulation, body heat is generated mostly in the deep organs, especially the liver, brain, and heart, and in contraction of skeletal muscles. [1] Humans have been able to adapt to a great diversity of climates, including hot humid and hot arid.

4. Energy homeostasis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_homeostasis

   Energy intake is measured by the amount of calories consumed from food and fluids. [1] Energy intake is modulated by hunger, which is primarily regulated by the hypothalamus, [1] and choice, which is determined by the sets of brain structures that are responsible for stimulus control (i.e., operant conditioning and classical conditioning) and cognitive control of eating behavior.

5. Fluid balance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_balance

   Fluid balance is an aspect of the homeostasis of organisms in which the amount of water in the organism needs to be controlled, via osmoregulation and behavior, such that the concentrations of electrolytes (salts in solution) in the various body fluids are kept within healthy ranges.

6. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

   The circulatory system is controlled by homeostatic mechanisms of autoregulation, just as hydraulic circuits are controlled by control systems. The hemodynamic response continuously monitors and adjusts to conditions in the body and its environment. Hemodynamics explains the physical laws that govern the flow of blood in the blood vessels.

7. Acid–base homeostasis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_homeostasis

   Acid–base homeostasis is the homeostatic regulation of the pH of the body's extracellular fluid (ECF). [1] The proper balance between the acids and bases (i.e. the pH) in the ECF is crucial for the normal physiology of the body—and for cellular metabolism . [ 1 ]

   A day after receiving criticism for a skit in which a child was "given" a PlayStation 5 then had it taken away, the Hornets apologized and announced in a statement they were making things right.

9. Steady state (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steady_state_(biochemistry)

   In biochemistry, steady state refers to the maintenance of constant internal concentrations of molecules and ions in the cells and organs of living systems. [1] Living organisms remain at a dynamic steady state where their internal composition at both cellular and gross levels are relatively constant, but different from equilibrium concentrations. [1]
