Proximate mechanisms refer to biological processes that explain how a particular behavior or trait occurs in an organism, focusing on the immediate causes such as hormones, brain activity, or environmental stimuli. These mechanisms are concerned with the immediate mechanisms that underlie behavior, as opposed to ultimate mechanisms which consider the evolutionary reasons behind the behavior.
Prezygotic isolating mechanisms.
Some examples of lifting mechanisms include pulleys, winches, hoists, and hydraulic lifts. These mechanisms utilize mechanical advantages to lift heavy loads with less effort.
Three mechanisms for crustal thickening are magmatic intrusion, sedimentation, and faulting.
Items such as watches, clocks, cameras, and vehicles have mechanisms that allow them to function properly. These mechanisms consist of various parts that work together to perform specific tasks, such as displaying time, capturing images, or propelling the vehicle.
psychophysiological - conditions/ stress responses that have both mind and body components
Psychophysiological insomnia is excessive worrying about whether or not a person will be able to fall asleep, which creates so much anxiety that the person's bedtime rituals and behavior trigger insomnia.

psychophysiological illnesses
A psychophysiological disorder is a physical illness or condition that is influenced by psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, or emotional trauma. These disorders involve a complex interaction between the mind and body, with symptoms that can be triggered or worsened by psychological distress. Treatment often involves addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of the disorder.
It appears that all diseases have psychological components
Biofeedback, or applied psychophysiological feedback

Most states do not accept psychophysiological veracity (PV) examination (polygraph) results in a civil court cases
IPv4 Mechanisms
Speech Mechanisms the conventional term for the system of psycho-physiological prerequisites that enable a human being to make meaningful utterances and to understand another's speech. Speech mechanisms are based on physiological systems that develop in man as a result of object-directed activity and association with other people, and that are impossible without certain innate abilities and skills (for example, proper coordination of articulation, syllable-formation, and correct breathing). The systemic localization of speech functions in the cerebral cortex makes possible the different psychophysiological conditionality for the same (as regards linguistic structure) speech utterances. Speech mechanisms are studied by the physiology and psychology of speech; and, in terms of their linguistic structure of utterances, they are studied by psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics.
