Homeostasis

Homeostasis refers to the maintenance

Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a stable internal environment in the body. It ensures that conditions such as temperature, pH, water content,

It is the process by which the body maintains a constant core temperature (around 37°C). This involves balancing heat production and heat loss through

Endotherms (like birds and mammals) generate internal heat to maintain body temperature, while ectotherms (like frogs and lizards) depend on external

A regulatory system where any deviation

A regulatory system where any deviation from the set point triggers a response that reverses the change. For example, if body temperature rises, sweat

Every homeostatic process involves four components

Every homeostatic process involves four components: a set point (normal value), sensors (detect changes), an integrating centre (processes information
