Introduction[edit | edit source]
Homeostasis, as defined thus "self-regulating process by which biological systems maintain stability while adjusting to changing external conditions"[1]. Our bodies various functions must operate in a narrow range of balance internally, this being a dynamic equilibrium, in spite of a changing external environment. Our individual cells require our body to maintain these conditions to prevent the death of our cells, tissues and organs. [2]The body achieves this dynamic homeostasis by regulating temperature, glucose, toxins, blood pressure and pH.
