In the jargon of the physiologic literature, the word 'homeostasis', introduced by W.B. Cannon (1926), refers to the existence of a constant state of extracellular body fluids with regards to their physical and chemical properties. Since normal cell function depends on the constancy of such fluids, in multicellular animals there are many regulatory mechanisms under the control of the central nervousRapid eye movement sleepPsychological aspectsHomeostasisElectronic books.Rapid eye movement sleepPsychological aspects.Homeostasis.612.821Parmeggiani Pier Luigi322958MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461613503321Systemic homeostasis and poikilostasis in sleep2215037UNINA
