Document Summary

Study of the function of the vertebrate body (focusing on human) Internal stability in spite of external factors. Ex: mass balance = body load + intake excretion. Fluid outside the cell membrane, includes plasma and interstitial fluid. Fluid outside cell, not enclosed in vessels. The range in which the body attempts to hold the body in. Integrating center compares input information to the set-point. Target cells or systems receive output instructions and . Response brings the previously monitored variable within limits. Integrating center and response are both nearby. Something long-distance response loop and feedback loop. Any response loop in which the output modulates the input. Physiological reaction to a certain change; consists of input, integration, and output. The homeostatic loop when the systemic response makes contact with some point in the loop and triggers the slowing or cancellation of the process. Loop but not homeostatic--response makes contact with some point in loop and increases process.
