I don't own anything, but love the characters and show! Amy froze in the doorway taking in the emptiness of the loft. Slowly, she scanned the room and her gaze landed on his black cowboy hat on the bench. Trying not to shake, she took the hat in her hands to find a piece of folded paper underneath.
homeostasis. the tendency of biological systems to maintain relatively constant conditions in the internal environment while continuously interacting with and adjusting to changes originating within or outside the system. See also balance and equilibrium. adj., adj homeostatÂ´ic.
The internal thermoregulation process is one aspect of homeostasis: a state of dynamic stability in an organism's internal conditions, maintained far from equilibrium with its environment (the study of such processes in zoology has been called physiological or physiological ecology). thermoconforming organism, by contrast, simply adopts the surrounding temperature as its own body temperature, thus avoiding the need for internal thermoregulation.
