Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a multicellular organismal process, the processes pertinent to the function of a multicellular organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of growth of an organism to reach its usual body size. The increase in size or mass of an entire multicellular organism, as opposed to cell growth. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of growth of the body of an organism so that it reaches its usual body size. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of growth of an organism to reach its usual body size. The physiological process by which dietary excess is sensed by the central nervous system and results in a reduction in food intake and increased energy expenditure. The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the growth of all or part of an organism so that it occurs at its proper speed, either globally or in a specific part of the organism's development.
