2. Embryol the ability of an animal embryo to develop normally after its structure has been altered or damaged in some way

regulation [‚reg·yə′lā·shən]
(control systems)
The process of holding constant a quantity such as speed, temperature, voltage, or position by means of an electronic or other system that automatically corrects errors by feeding back into the system the condition being regulated; regulation thus is based on feedback, whereas control is not.
(electricity)
The change in output voltage that occurs between no load and full load in a transformer, generator, or other source.
(electronics)
The difference between the maximum and minimum tube voltage drops within a specified range of anode current in a gas tube.

There are several different Research views on how the Calcitonin/ PTH Feedback Regulation operates, so I am including information from three views so a person can use their own judgement on what is taking place.
More recently, calmodulin has also been found to act in the feedback regulation of calcium entry through L-type channels.
With the exception of a few who have operated from an overall framework of cybernetic or circular causality and negative feedback regulation, self-control theorists and researchers have clung to lineal mechanistic causality and by self-control have meant a form of unidirectional control by which voluntary behavior is controlled by organisms themselves who manipulate purported antecedent environmental or cognitive proximal controlling variables of behavior-as-output.
