WormMine: GOTerm GO:0050891 multicellular organismal-level water homeostasis GO

• Namespace: biological_process
• Obsolete: false
• Description: A chemical homeostatic process involved in the maintenance of a steady state level of water within extracellular body fluids, such as blood, xylem or phloem, of a multicellular organism. This is distinct from maintenance of cellular homeostasis, which occurs within a cell.

Identifier	Name	Description
GO:0008150	biological_process	A biological process is the execution of a genetically-encoded biological module or program. It consists of all the steps required to achieve the specific biological objective of the module. A biological process is accomplished by a particular set of molecular functions carried out by specific gene products (or macromolecular complexes), often in a highly regulated manner and in a particular temporal sequence.
GO:0065007	biological regulation	Any process that modulates a measurable attribute of any biological process, quality or function.
GO:0065008	regulation of biological quality	Any process that modulates a qualitative or quantitative trait of a biological quality. A biological quality is a measurable attribute of an organism or part of an organism, such as size, mass, shape, color, etc.
GO:0032501	multicellular organismal process	Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function.
GO:0048878	chemical homeostasis	Any biological process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of a chemical.
GO:0042592	homeostatic process	Any biological process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state.
GO:0048871	multicellular organismal-level homeostasis	Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state at the level of the multicellular organism.
GO:0050878	regulation of body fluid levels	Any process that modulates the levels of body fluids.
GO:0050891	multicellular organismal-level water homeostasis	A chemical homeostatic process involved in the maintenance of a steady state level of water within extracellular body fluids, such as blood, xylem or phloem, of a multicellular organism. This is distinct from maintenance of cellular homeostasis, which occurs within a cell.
GO:0140962	multicellular organismal-level chemical homeostasis	A homeostatic process involved in the maintenance of a steady state level of a chemical within extracellular body fluids, such as blood, xylem or phloem, of a multicellular organism. This is distinct from maintenance of cellular homeostasis, which occurs within a cell.
