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.
