the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. This includes controlling temperature, pH levels, blood sugar levels, and other bodily functions. Homeostasis is essential for the optimal functioning of cells, tissues, and organs, and disruptions to this balance can lead to various health issues.
Homeostasis is a physiological process that refers to the ability of an organism or a system to maintain internal stability and a state of balance, regardless of external changes. It involves the regulation of various variables, such as body temperature, blood pH, blood sugar levels, and fluid balance, among others. Homeostasis ensures that these variables are kept within a narrow range conducive to normal body functioning. It involves several feedback mechanisms that work together to detect any changes and initiate appropriate responses to restore equilibrium.
