Abstract: In 20 years the new understanding of homeostasis and special homeostatic regulation emerged associated with the W. Weaver hypothesis on biosystems of the third type and the discovery of the Eskov-Zinchenko effect. There are some papers about the unstable behavior of the homeostasis regulation in the human body. Now we can speak about the absence of any stable states of any human body function. This significantly expands our understanding of the theory of human functional systems developed by P. K. Anokhin in the middle of the 20th century. Now we can speak of a new understanding of cybernetics as a basis for the definition of various human physiological functions. A new biological and medical cybernetics is emerging; it denies static homeostasis and static parameters of the human body functions.

Keywords: homeostasis, stochastics, chaos, Eskov-Zinchenko effect.
