säätelyreaktiot
Säätelyreaktiot, also known as regulatory responses, are the physiological and behavioral adjustments an organism makes to maintain homeostasis. Homeostasis is the stable internal environment necessary for survival, and it involves keeping various parameters such as body temperature, blood glucose levels, and pH within narrow limits. When these parameters deviate from their set points, the body triggers a series of regulatory mechanisms.
These responses can be broadly categorized into negative feedback and positive feedback loops. Negative feedback is
Positive feedback loops are less common and amplify the initial stimulus, driving a process to completion.
Behavioral adaptations also play a significant role in regulatory responses. Seeking shade when it's hot or
