4 concepts
Homeostatic Process
Homeostatic processes ensure a constant internal environment by various mechanisms working in combination to maintain set points.
Control of Homeostasis
Homeostasis is typically achieved via negative feedback loops, but can be affected by positive feedback loops, set point alterations, and acclimatization.
Homeostasis: Thermoregulation
Animals use different modes of thermoregulation processes to maintain homeostatic internal body temperatures.
Heat Conservation and Dissipation
Animals have processes that allow for heat conservation and dissipation in order to maintain a homeostatic internal body temperature.
