Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario describes the concept of homeostasis, which refers to the body's ability to regulate its internal environment and maintain a stable, constant condition despite changes in the external environment. The body's response to rising and falling temperatures (sweating and shivering) is an example of homeostasis in action. Libido refers to sexual desire, satiation refers to the feeling of fullness or satisfaction after eating, and drives refer to innate biological needs or urges that motivate behavior. These concepts do not apply to the scenario described.
