| # | 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. | 15 sets | |
| 2 | the point at which one's body tries maintain weight | 11 sets | |
| 3 | idea that your body returns to a preprogrammed weight; this occurs naturally (after dieting and other events) | 11 sets | |
| 4 | the point at which an individual's "weight thermostat" is supposedly set | 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 | value that establishes a range of body and muscle mass we tend to maintain | 3 sets | |
| 10 | 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 | |
| 11 | 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 | |
| 12 | refers to the tendency of the body to maintain a certain level of body fat and body weight | 2 sets | |
| 13 | point at which an individual's "weight thermostat" is supposedly set. | 2 sets | |
| 14 | the point at which an individual's weight thermostat is supposedly set | 2 sets | |
| 15 | body regulating mechanism that determines a persons typical weight (body's "preferred" weight) | 2 sets | |
| 16 | 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 | |
| 17 | a particular body weight that an individual's homeostatic processes strive to maintain | 2 sets | |
| 18 | is an individual's regulated weight level, which is maintained by adjusting food intake and energy output, (p. 340) | 2 sets | |
| 19 | hypothetical state that indicates homeostasis | 2 sets | |
| 20 | in a dynamic physiological equilibrium, conditions fluctuate slightly around an average value called the _____. | 2 sets | |
| 21 | the point at which an individual's weight thermostat is supposedly set. | 2 sets | |
| 22 | the genetically influenced weight range for an individual; it is maintained by biological mechanisms that regulate food intake, fat reserves, and metabolism | 2 sets | |
| 23 | value that establishes a range of body and muscle mass we tend to maintain. | 2 sets | |
| 24 | when the range maintained by a homeostatic process is very low, what is it called? | 1 set | |
| 25 | optimal body temperature (the desired value of the system) | 1 set | |
| 26 | the genetically influenced weight range for an individual maintained by biological mechanisms that regulate food intake, fat reserves, and | 1 set | |
| 27 | point where the body should be (eg: point where body temp should be) | 1 set | |
| 28 | a operating level | 1 set | |
| 29 | a specific point to set something for operation | 1 set | |
| 30 | what a particular value should be | 1 set | |
| 31 | point the body goes back to after weight gain or loss | 1 set | |
| 32 | a normal level for body conditions | 1 set | |
| 33 | "average" range of "normal" internal values | 1 set | |
| 34 | the point established in each person that determines how much fat will be stored. | 1 set | |
| 35 | a present natural body weight, determined by the number of fat cells in our body | 1 set | |
| 36 | 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 | |
| 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 | in a dynamic physiological equilibrium, condition fluctuate slightly around average value | 1 set | |
| 40 | the target value of a controlled variable that is maintained physiologically by bodily control mechanisms for homeostasis. | 1 set | |
