The therapeutic value of a medication is called its efficacy.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Homeostasis refers to the internal body system that helps to regulate our internal body environment, such as our temperature, blood pressure, etc.
By means of<em> internal sensors</em> which monitor when there is a change in our normal body condition, these reaction times occur for example:
- when we are triggered by our body to go and dehydrate (urinate) in the restroom,
- or maybe when we begin to sweat heavily after performing physical activity, those tiny droplets of sweat helps cool our body down.
All these automatic responses help us maintain homeostasis in our body.
C. Drug abuse is when you become dependent on that drug and "need it to survive." People abusing drugs will do whatever necessary to get more drugs, even dangerous and illegal things. Even prescription drugs (drugs taken for medical purposes) can be abused if you take more than prescribed. I hope this helps :)
