Solution

Homeostasis:

  1. Homeostasis is a state of balance between all body systems necessary for the body to survive and function properly.
  2. An individual's ability to maintain a relatively stable internal state despite external circumstances is referred to as homeostasis.
  3. Almost any living organism exhibits homeostasis, including humans.
  4. For example, through negative feedback loops, the body temperature can be brought back to its steady state if it deviates from its steady state.
