# Definition Sets
1the point at which an individual's "weight thermostat" is supposedly set. when the body falls below this weight, an increase in hunger and a lowered metabolic rate may act to restore the lost weight.14 sets
2idea that your body returns to a preprogrammed weight; this occurs naturally (after dieting and other events)10 sets
3the point at which an individual's "weight thermostat" is supposedly set10 sets
4the point at which one's body tries maintain weight10 sets
5the point at which an individual's "weight thermostat" is supposedly set. when the body falls below this weight, an increase in hunger and a lowered metabolic rate may act to restore the lost weight. (myers psychology 8e p. 476)5 sets
6the point at which an individual's "weight thermostat" is supposedly set; when the body falls below this weight, an increase in hunger and a lowered metabolic rate may act to restore the lost weight4 sets
7a term referring to any one of a number of quantities (e.g. body weight, body temperature) which the body tries to keep at a particular value.3 sets
8preset natural body weight, determined by the number of fat cells in the body3 sets
9the point at which an individual's "weight thermostat" is supposedly set. when the body falls below this weight, an increase in hunger and a lowered metabolic rate may act to restore the lost weight3 sets
10in a dynamic physiological equilibrium, conditions fluctuate slightly around an average value called the _____.2 sets
11value that establishes a range of body and muscle mass we tend to maintain.2 sets
12is an individual's regulated weight level, which is maintained by adjusting food intake and energy output, (p. 340)2 sets
13the point at which an individual's "weight thermostat" is supposedly set; when the body falls below this weight, increased hunger and a lowered metabolic rate may act to restore the lost weight.2 sets
14the point at which an individual's "weight thermostat" is supposedly set. when the body falls below this weight, an increase in hunger and lowered metabolic rate may act to restore the lost weight.2 sets
15a particular body weight that an individual's homeostatic processes strive to maintain2 sets
16body regulating mechanism that determines a persons typical weight (body's "preferred" weight)2 sets
17the point at which an individual's weight thermostat is supposedly set2 sets
18hypothetical state that indicates homeostasis2 sets
19the point at which an individual's weight thermostat is supposedly set.2 sets
20the point at which an individual's "weight thermostat" is supposed set. when the body falls below this weight, an increase in hunger and lowered metabolic rate may act to restore the lost weight.1 set
21the point at which an individual's "weight thermostat" is supposedly set. when the body falls below this weight an increase in hunger and a lowered metabolic rate may act to restore the lost weight1 set
22the point at which an individual's "weight thermostat" is supposedly set. when the body falls below this weight, an increase in hunger and a lowered matabolic rate may act to restore the lost weight1 set
23the genticaly influenced weight range for an individual, it is maintained by biologicaly mechanisms that regulate food intact1 set
24a reference point1 set
25a physioloigical level or setting (eg of a specific hormone) that the body attempts to maintain through a self regulating system1 set
26a point where one's weight thermostat is set. if one's weight falls above or below their set point, the body will be out of homeostasis and will either increase or decrease the bodies metabolic rate to reach homeostasis again.1 set
27the point established in each person that determines how much fat will be stored.1 set
28point at which someones weight is supposedly set1 set
29in a dynamic physiological equilibrium, condition fluctuate slightly around average value1 set
30seadistuspunkt (punkt/väärtus, mis on kindlaks määratud)1 set
31a particular body weight that an individual's homeostatic processes strive to maintain.the set point is affected by age, genes, diet, hormones, and excercise.1 set
32a natural body weight, perhaps produced by genetic factors, that the body seeks to maintain; when body weight falls below the set point, people are motivated to eat; when weight exceeds the set point, people feel less motivated to eat1 set
33the weight the body normally maintains when you are trying to neither gain nor lose weight1 set
34the point at which an individual's "wieght thermostat" is supposedly set. when the body falls below this weight, an increase in hunger and a lowered metabolic rate may act to restore the lost weight1 set
35the tendency of the body to maintain a certain level of body fat and weight1 set
36the weight the body normally maintains when one is trying neither to gain nor lose weight1 set
37natural body weight, perhaps produced by genetic factors, that the body seeks to maintain.1 set
38the point at which an individual's "weight thermometer" is set1 set
39the target value of a controlled variable that is maintained physiologically by bodily control mechanisms for homeostasis.1 set
40the point at which an individual's 'weight thermostat' is supposedly set.1 set
