Homeostasis is described as the foundational mechanism that provides the basis for physiological regulation [1], with historical figures like Claude Bernard and Walter Cannon linking the two concepts through their work on internal constancy [2]. Furthermore, academic literature explicitly examines their relationship, clarifying how homeostasis functions within the broader scope of physiological regulation {fact:1, fact:5, fact:6} and debating its role in modern regulatory perspectives {fact:2, fact:7, fact:8}.

claimWilliam Bechtel and Bich identify three core topics in the debate over homeostasis: (1) setpoints are variable and adjustable rather than fixed; (2) physiological regulation involves anticipating future variation rather than just responding to it; and (3) the notion of a setpoint is inaccurate for describing biological systems.
perspectiveIn 1961, Adolph argued that not all physiological regulation is concerned with maintaining constancy, noting that some regulatory processes depart from homeostasis while still contributing to the survival of the organism.
referenceRamsay and Woods (2014) clarify the distinct roles of homeostasis and allostasis in physiological regulation.
perspectiveBechtel and Bich (2024) advocate for a perspective on physiological regulation that focuses on the whole organism rather than single feedback mechanisms, by recovering the core of the original vision of homeostasis.

claimHomeostasis is the result of complex interaction and competition between multiple negative and positive feedback systems and provides the basis for physiological regulation.
claimClaude Bernard and Walter Cannon are considered the two primary figures in modern physiological regulation, having described regulations in terms of the constancy of the internal environment and homeostasis, respectively.
