Since anorexia nervosa deprives the body of the food and nutrients it needs, the body is not receiving those essential nutrients vital to normal body function. (such as calcium not being able to flow to muscles and make them contract, thus putting the muscles at risk of atrophy because of a lack of use) If the body can not function normally, then there is something wrong with homeostasis.
