Abstract
The function of any specific body process may often exceed normal values and yet be inadequate for the particular load imposed upon the process. The usual response of such a process is to increase its capacity to deal with the increased load, but such increases in capacity have both normal and pathological limits. The occurrence of both normal and pathologic limits to increase of capacity in diverse body processes and disease states in man is reviewed from the medical literature.
