Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady-state at the level of the multicellular organism. The regionalization process by which embryonic segments are divided into compartments that will result in differences in cell differentiation. A homeostatic process involved in the maintenance of a compartment boundary. A compartment boundary is a lineage restriction boundary within a developing tissue which does not correspond to some morphological barrier. A homeostatic process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady-state within a defined tissue of an organism, including control of cellular proliferation and death and control of metabolic function. A homeostatic process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady-state within a defined anatomical structure of an organism, including control of cellular proliferation and death and control of metabolic function. An anatomical structure is any biological entity that occupies space and is distinguished from its surroundings. Anatomical structures can be macroscopic such as a carpel, or microscopic such as an acrosome. The regionalization process by which specific areas of cell differentiation are determined along the anterior-posterior axis. The anterior-posterior axis is defined by a line that runs from the head or mouth of an organism to the tail or opposite end of the organism.
