| # | Definition | Sets | |
| 1 | the 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 | |
| 2 | idea that your body returns to a preprogrammed weight; this occurs naturally (after dieting and other events) | 10 sets | |
| 3 | the point at which an individual's "weight thermostat" is supposedly set | 10 sets | |
| 4 | the point at which one's body tries maintain weight | 10 sets | |
| 5 | the 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 | |
| 6 | the 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 | 4 sets | |
| 7 | a 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 | |
| 8 | preset natural body weight, determined by the number of fat cells in the body | 3 sets | |
| 9 | the 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 | 3 sets | |
| 10 | in a dynamic physiological equilibrium, conditions fluctuate slightly around an average value called the _____. | 2 sets | |
| 11 | value that establishes a range of body and muscle mass we tend to maintain. | 2 sets | |
| 12 | is an individual's regulated weight level, which is maintained by adjusting food intake and energy output, (p. 340) | 2 sets | |
| 13 | the 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 | |
| 14 | the 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 | |
| 15 | a particular body weight that an individual's homeostatic processes strive to maintain | 2 sets | |
| 16 | body regulating mechanism that determines a persons typical weight (body's "preferred" weight) | 2 sets | |
| 17 | the point at which an individual's weight thermostat is supposedly set | 2 sets | |
| 18 | hypothetical state that indicates homeostasis | 2 sets | |
| 19 | the point at which an individual's weight thermostat is supposedly set. | 2 sets | |
| 20 | the 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 | |
| 21 | the 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 | 1 set | |
| 22 | the 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 weight | 1 set | |
| 23 | the genticaly influenced weight range for an individual, it is maintained by biologicaly mechanisms that regulate food intact | 1 set | |
| 24 | a reference point | 1 set | |
| 25 | a physioloigical level or setting (eg of a specific hormone) that the body attempts to maintain through a self regulating system | 1 set | |
| 26 | a 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 | |
| 27 | the point established in each person that determines how much fat will be stored. | 1 set | |
| 28 | point at which someones weight is supposedly set | 1 set | |
| 29 | in a dynamic physiological equilibrium, condition fluctuate slightly around average value | 1 set | |
| 30 | seadistuspunkt (punkt/väärtus, mis on kindlaks määratud) | 1 set | |
| 31 | a 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 | |
| 32 | a 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 eat | 1 set | |
| 33 | the weight the body normally maintains when you are trying to neither gain nor lose weight | 1 set | |
| 34 | the 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 weight | 1 set | |
| 35 | the tendency of the body to maintain a certain level of body fat and weight | 1 set | |
| 36 | the weight the body normally maintains when one is trying neither to gain nor lose weight | 1 set | |
| 37 | natural body weight, perhaps produced by genetic factors, that the body seeks to maintain. | 1 set | |
| 38 | the point at which an individual's "weight thermometer" is set | 1 set | |
| 39 | the target value of a controlled variable that is maintained physiologically by bodily control mechanisms for homeostasis. | 1 set | |
| 40 | the point at which an individual's 'weight thermostat' is supposedly set. | 1 set | |
