Regulation
1. (Science: biology) The adaption of form or behaviour of an organism to changed conditions.
2. (Science: embryology) The power of a pregastrula stage to form a whole embryo from a part.
Origin: L. Regula = rule
(embryology) the ability of an early embryo to continue normal development after its structure has been somehow damaged or altered.The monitoring of a particular situation or reaction.
The kidneys are responsible for the regulation of water and inorganic ions. Read this tutorial to learn about the different parts of the kidneys and its role in homeostasis...
Osmoregulation is the regulation of water concentrations in the bloodstream, effectively controlling the amount of water available for cells to absorb. Take a look at this tutorial to know how the body regulates blood sugar levels and temperature...
Learn about the general structure of a eukaryotic gene, the transcription factors, and post-transcriptional regulation...
Regulation of Biological Systems tutorials are focused on the modulation of biological systems from cell to population levels. The course starts with the principles of negative feedback control, and how it regulates blood sugar, water, and temperature in humans. It, then, culminates in the population regulation and ecosystem succession. Learn the various regulatory mechanisms that..
This tutorial elucidates body temperature regulation. Know the details here to learn how the body sets the body temperature within the homeostatic range...
The human body is capable of regulating growth and energy balance through various feedback mechanisms. Get to know the events of absorptive and post-absorptive states. This tutorial also describes the endocrine and neural control of compounds such as insulin and glucagon. It also deals with the regulation of growth, heat loss, and heat gain. ..
