The partitioning of nutrients to various body tissues involves two types of regulation, homeostasis and homeorhesis. Homeostatic control involves maintenance of physiological equilibrium or constant conditions in the internal environment. Homeorhesis is the second type of control in partitioning nutrients. Homeorhesis as the orchestrated or coordinated changes in metabolism of body tissues necessary to support a physiological state. The Greek derivation of homeorhesis is "uniform-flow". Hence, this is consistent with our definition, since homeorhetic regulation involves a coordination of metabolism to insure a uniform flow of nutrients in support of a physiological state. Regulation of nutrient partitioning to support fetal development and subsequent milk synthesis is complex. The concepts unit plays a critical role in assuring adequate nutrients for its development as well as for the dam's mammary development and subsequent milk production.
