DEC 23, basic medical science: homeostasis


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, U.P.


a) Reprise of material posted on December 23 in previous years ...


2020: political palindromes, PPP (wordplay) 
2021: variant limerick, zoophile from Nanoose (illustrated poem)
2022: objectionable adjective, fulsome (poem)

To access the details of any item in slide format, type its title, as displayed above in red font (e.g. ... fulsome) into one of the two search bars at the the top of your blog-page. Underneath the slide(s) for each entertaining delight that you discover, you will find a clickable link that lets you easily explore a more widespread collection of wonderments (verse, photos, wordplay, song-lyrics etc.) on the topic of your choice.


b) Today's Offering (Dec 23, 2024)


Authors' Note: For physiologists and physicians, the understanding of homeostatic mechanisms such as feedback loops, and how they get overwhelmed in disease, is critical. An example discussed here previously is regulation of thyroid hormone levels. Knowledge in this area has also expanded into the field of IT.
