Material type:
TextPublisher: Global Media , 2007Edition: 1st ed.ISBN: 9788189940645 ( e-book ).Subject(s): Human PhysiologyGenre/Form: Electronic booksOnline resources: https://research.ebsco.com/c/sfdfxl/details/5nusxr4tov?q=Human+Physiology&db=nlebk View to click Summary: In order to maintain homeostasis in an ever-changing environment, there must be some sort of set point, for instance, maintaining a body temperature of 98.6 degrees. There must also be receptors so the brain can monitor where the body is relative to that set point. Lastly, there must be mechanisms for making appropriate adjustments and giving feedback to the control center. Because the internal and external environment of the body are constantly changing and adjustments must be made continuously to stay at or near the set point, homeostasis can be thought of as a dynamic equilibrium.
