Remaining stable while staying the same. - answer ✔✔-Homeostasis
A state in which all systems are in balance. - answer ✔✔-Homeostasis
A state of equilibrium. - answer ✔✔-Homeostasis
An ideal "set point" despite alterations within the body. - answer ✔✔-Homeostasis
The ability to successfully adapt to challenges. - answer ✔✔-Allostasis
Intricate regulatory processes orchestrated by the brain. - answer ✔✔-Allostasis
A dynamic process that maintains or re-establishes homeostasis in light of environmental and lifestyle
changes. - answer ✔✔-Allostasis
Stimulus → Sensor → Control → Effector → Loop back to Stimulus - answer ✔✔-General Feedback Loop
of Homeostasis
The collective effort of the body to restore homeostasis. - answer ✔✔-Allostatic State
The "cost" of the body's organs and tissues or effect of "wear and tear" caused by the excessive or
ineffective regulation of allostatic response. - answer ✔✔-Allostatic Overload
Leads to inability to maintain homeostasis. - answer ✔✔-Allostatic Overload
