Cannabinoid receptors, located throughout the body, are part of the Endocannabinoid system which is involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory.[1]

Cannabinoid receptors are of a class of cell membrane receptors under the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. As is typical of G protein-coupled receptors, the cannabinoid receptors contain seven transmembrane spanning domains.[5] Cannabinoid receptors are activated by three major groups of ligands: endocannabinoids, produced by the mammillary body; plant cannabinoids (such as Cannabidiol, produced by the cannabis plant); and synthetic cannabinoids (such as HU-210). All of the endocannabinoids and plant cannabinoids are lipophilic, such as fat soluble compounds.

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

homeostasis

Explanation:

Homeostasis has to do with processes that maintain the internal balance within an organism. It can succinctly be defined as the process of regulating an organism's internal environment. The process of homeostasis is very important in the maintenance of important indicators of balance in the body such as body temperature, body pH, etc.

Hence, when blood pH becomes overly acidic, respiration and kidney function change to bring the acidity back to its normal pH level of 7.4. This is a homeostatic response.
