What is Morphostasis?

What diseases disrupt homeostasis?

The disruption of cell and tissue homeostasis lie at the base of (virtually) all disease. If there is a characteristic histological picture associated with a disease, then form homeostasis (morphostasis - roughlyequivalent to tissue homeostasis) is - by definition - disrupted. The main question arising from this is "is there a morphostatic system that attempts to return form to a (visualisable) histological picture that looks entirely healthy". I say "virtually all disease" because it is possible to image some metabolic disorder that does not go hand in hand with a visualisable histological change: if you know of a contender, I would be interested to know. Tissues invaded by infectious agents show marked changes in form. So, a question to ask is this: "Is the response to a damaging invasive organism DOMINANTLY a response that attempts to restore tissue and cell homeostasis (morphostasis)." ALthough the immune system appears to "attack" pathogenic organisms, this might be the consequence of an attempt to restore tissue homeostasis.
