Components and Mechanism Process of Homeostasis

Bao Quoc VO

Homeostasis, any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to keep stability while adjusting to conditions that is optimal for survival. If homeostasis is successful, life proceeds; in case unsuccessful, disaster or death follows. The stability attained is actually a dynamic equilibrium, in which non-stop change occurs but relatively uniform conditions prevail. Any system in energetic equilibrium tends to reach a steady state, a balance that stands up to outside forces of change. When such a system is disturbed, built-in regulatory devices reply to the departures to establish a new balance; such a process is one of comments control. All processes of integration and coordination of work, whether mediated by electrical circuits or by nervous and hormonal systems, are examples of homeostatic direction.
