Question

The tendency for physiological systems to stabilize internal conditions is called
A) self-regulation.
B) homeostasis.
C) equilibriosis.
D) hemopoiesis.
E) amplification.

Accepted Answer

Homeostasis refers to the ability of an organism to maintain stable internal conditions despite external changes. This is achieved through self-regulation of physiological systems, which work together to maintain equilibrium. Equilibriosis and hemopoiesis are not related to this concept, and amplification refers to the process of increasing a signal strength.
