  2. Dynamic equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_equilibrium

    In chemistry, a dynamic equilibrium exists once a reversible reaction occurs. Substances transition between the reactants and products at equal rates, meaning there is no net change. Reactants and products are formed at such a rate that the concentration of neither changes. It is a particular example of a system in a steady state.

  3. Inner ear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_ear

    The inner ear is primarily responsible for balance, equilibrium and orientation in three-dimensional space. The inner ear can detect both static and dynamic equilibrium. Three semicircular ducts and two chambers, which contain the saccule and utricle , enable the body to detect any deviation from equilibrium.

  4. Saccule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccule

    The vestibular system is important for balance, or equilibrium. It includes the saccule, utricle, and the three semicircular canals. The vestibule is the name of the fluid-filled, membranous duct that contains these organs of balance and is in turn encased in the temporal bone of the skull as a part of the inner ear.

  5. Vestibular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_system

    Human vestibular system of the semicircular canals in the inner ear. The vestibular system, in vertebrates, is a sensory system that creates the sense of balance and spatial orientation for the purpose of coordinating movement with balance.

  6. 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]

  7. List of types of equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_types_of_equilibrium

    Partial equilibrium, the equilibrium price and quantity which come from the cross of supply and demand in a competitive market; Radner equilibrium, an economic concept defined by economist Roy Radner in the context of general equilibrium; Recursive competitive equilibrium, an economic equilibrium concept associated with a dynamic program

  8. Balance (ability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_(ability)

    Maintaining balance requires coordination of input from multiple sensory systems including the vestibular, somatosensory, and visual systems. [3]Vestibular system: sense organs that regulate equilibrium (equilibrioception); directional information as it relates to head position (internal gravitational, linear, and angular acceleration)

  9. Homeostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostasis

    The use of sovereign power, codes of conduct, religious and cultural practices and other dynamic processes in a society can be described as a part of an evolved homeostatic system of regularizing life and maintaining an overall equilibrium that protects the security of the whole from internal and external imbalances or dangers.
