Homeostasis: This term refers to the body's ability to maintain stable internal conditions despite external changes. It includes regulating metabolic processes within specific ranges.
Neuronal metabolism: It specifically focuses on how neurons generate and utilize energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for their functioning and communication.
Cellular respiration: This process occurs within cells, including neurons, where glucose is broken down into ATP through a series of chemical reactions, providing energy for cellular activities.
