c. It is always possible for physiological variables to be maintained in a relatively constant manner using homeostatic control systems
d. The stability of an internal environment variable is achieved by balancing inputs and outputs
e. In negative feedback systems, a change in the variable being regulated brings about responses that tend to move the variable in a direction that is opposite to the…
