In a homeostatic regulation system, if a variable like body temperature is
below or above the set point, what happens?
The set point is usually re-adjusted to meet the variable's current state.
Detector systems set off physiological "alarms", altering the brain to a problem.
Correctional mechanisms attempt to return the variable to the set point.
The organism has to choose the right behaviors to correct the mis-match;
physiology cannot compensate for the problem.
