A steady state within the body is termed
a) Homeostasis.
When a change occurs that causes a body function to deviate from its
stable range, processes are initiated to restore and maintain the
steady state or homeostasis.
b) Constancy.
Constancy refers to the balanced internal state of the human body
maintained by physiologic and biochemical processes.
c) Adaptation.
Adaptation refers to a constant, ongoing process that requires change
in structure, function, or behavior so that the person is better suited to
the environment.
d) Stress.
Stress refers to a state produced by a change in the environment that
is perceived as challenging, threatening, or damaging to the person’s
dynamic balance or equilibrium.
