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 nervous 606 $aRapid eye movement sleep$xPsychological aspects 606 $aHomeostasis 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRapid eye movement sleep$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aHomeostasis. 676 $a612.821 700 $aParmeggiani$b Pier Luigi$0322958 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461613503321 996 $aSystemic homeostasis and poikilostasis in sleep$92215037 997 $aUNINA
