homeostatic
Significado: Relating to homeostasis — the tendency of a biological system to maintain internal stability and equilibrium by adjusting its physiological processes in response to changing conditions.
Homeostatic mechanisms regulate body temperature, blood pH, glucose levels, water balance, and countless other variables within narrow ranges essential for survival. Negative feedback loops are the primary homeostatic mechanism: a deviation from the set point triggers a corrective response. The concept extends beyond biology into ecology (ecosystem stability), engineering (control systems), and economics (market equilibrium). It collocates with 'mechanisms,' 'regulation,' 'balance,' and 'feedback.'
Ejemplos
- The homeostatic mechanisms that regulate body temperature are remarkably effective, maintaining a core of around 37°C despite wide environmental variation. 调节体温的稳态机制非常高效,尽管环境变化很大,仍能将核心体温维持在约37°C。Los mecanismos homeostáticos que regulan la temperatura corporal son extraordinariamente eficaces: mantienen un núcleo de aproximadamente 37 °C a pesar de amplias variaciones ambientales.体温を調節するホメオスタシスの仕組みは極めて効果的であり、環境が大きく変化しても核心温度を約37°Cに維持する。체온을 조절하는 항상성 기전은 매우 효과적이어서, 환경이 크게 변화해도 심부 체온을 약 37°C로 유지한다.
- Diabetes arises when homeostatic control of blood glucose fails due to insufficient insulin production or insulin resistance. 糖尿病的发生是因为血糖的稳态调控由于胰岛素分泌不足或胰岛素抵抗而失效。La diabetes surge cuando el control homeostático de la glucemia falla debido a una producción insuficiente de insulina o a la resistencia a la insulina.糖尿病は、インスリンの産生不足やインスリン抵抗性により血糖のホメオスタシス制御が破綻した場合に発症する。당뇨병은 인슐린 생산 부족이나 인슐린 저항성으로 인해 혈당의 항상성 조절이 실패할 때 발생한다.
- The ecological study examined the homeostatic capacity of wetland ecosystems to absorb nutrient pollution before tipping into eutrophication. 该生态学研究考察了湿地生态系统在进入富营养化临界点之前吸收营养污染的稳态能力。El estudio ecológico examinó la capacidad homeostática de los ecosistemas de humedales para absorber la contaminación por nutrientes antes de alcanzar el punto de inflexión de la eutrofización.その生態学的研究は、湿地生態系が富栄養化の転換点に至る前に栄養汚染を吸収するホメオスタシス能力を調査した。해당 생태학 연구는 습지 생태계가 부영양화의 전환점에 도달하기 전에 영양 오염을 흡수하는 항상성 능력을 조사했다.
