Condition of homeostasis in cells and in the body of a multicellular organism is

maintained by a feedback process (feedback).

Homeostasis negative reaction is a reaction that is reduced to the intense pressure
that received the control center, being positive reaction homeostasis is a reaction that is
increasing the pressure experienced by a weak central control, as a result of
environmental changes were monitored receptors.
Examples of the negative reaction is: how the central control of body temperature to
maintain the pressure outside temperature is too hot, nor too cold (thermoregulation);
how to keep blood sugar levels do not rise (glukoregulasi), or how to not be a
concentrated body fluids due to dehydration (osmoregulation).
Examples of positive reaction is: spending oxytocin during parturition to increase uterine
contractions, spending thrombin to blood clots in the event of bleeding, etc.
Homeostatic imbalance occurs when the homeostatic control factors are no longer
able to maintain homeostatic equilibrium back to normal. These factors, among others,
disease, poisoning, malnutrition, kecapain, old age, etc.

Another example of controlling nature with regard to the establishment of plant
communities is when nature gets environmental disturbances, such as volcanic eruptions,
it will cause damage to natural ecosystems, causing damage to a barren land because
plants that are in the vicinity eruption will be bald. Because the ground state of the newly
exposed eruptions damaged its structure and contains little water, then plant communities
can not grow in the area, only algae that community can live and survive. After several
long mineralized structure has improved due to the role of algae, the moss plants and
ferns can be grown on land that has begun to damp it, and along with the development of
improved soil composition, the grass began to grow. Once the soil has begun lush shrubs
can further grow in the ground, until the soil is completely fertile and suitable water
conditions or mineral has fulfilled, then plant large trees can thrive as well. That process
of balancing the natural fault conditions so that a plant can live up to the limits of
tolerance and will generate an appropriate adaptation to the environmental conditions.
