itsesäätelymekanismi
Itsesäätelymekanismi refers to a system's ability to maintain internal stability or homeostasis despite external changes. In biological systems, this often involves complex feedback loops that regulate physiological processes such as body temperature, blood sugar levels, or hormone concentrations. When a deviation from the desired set point occurs, a sensor detects the change, and a control center initiates a response to counteract the deviation, returning the system to its stable state. This is typically a negative feedback mechanism, where the response opposes the initial stimulus.
In other contexts, such as in psychology or economics, itsesäätelymekanismi describes the processes by which individuals
