Is sweating an example of homeostasis?


Open in App
Solution

Homeostasis:

  1. Homeostasis is defined as the regulation of biological systems such as temperature, blood pressure, etc., in response to changing environmental conditions.
  2. Sweating is an example of homeostasis as it helps regulate our body temperature.
  3. When our core temperature rises, we start to sweat.
  4. The evaporation of this sweat cools the body down, thereby lowering the elevated temperature.
