Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three actions that the body's control system must perform in order to maintain homeostasis are detecting deviations, integrating information, and making appropriate adjustments. This is best represented by choice E. Choice A is incorrect because the body does not control the external environment, but rather tries to maintain the internal environment despite external changes. Choice B is partially correct, but does not include the final step of making adjustments. Choice C is also partially correct, but does not specifically mention detecting deviations as the first step. Choice D is incorrect because maintaining temperature and pH are specific examples of adjustments that may need to be made, but not the overarching actions required to maintain homeostasis.
