The role of homeostasis is to maintain a constant internal environment within the body despite changes in the external environment. For example, the body is able to keep its core temperature, blood sugar levels and water balance relatively constant.This ensures the survival and functioning of...
Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment within an organism or cell to maintain equilibrium, usually using a system of feedback controls to stabilise health and proper functioning. Homeostasis can control steady water levels, blood sugar level and temperature which are vital in...
The word homeostasis come from the ancient Greek, and it’s the union of the two words homeo and stasis. Homois means “similar”, and stasis means “staying still”, which gives the idea of “staying the same”. The human body consists of millions of cells working together...
Abstract The immune system works to destroy cancer and viruses throughout our life. When the immune system is weak or exposed to toxins or radiation, cancer cells develop quicker than the healthy cells can destroy them. Cancer is the result of mutation of genes that...
Introduction Homeostasis refers to the ability of the body to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in the external environment. This dynamic state of equilibrium is made possible through the coordinated responses of the body’s physiological systems. Homeostasis allows the body to function effectively...
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep, which can lead to a range of health issues. One of the lesser-known aspects of sleep apnea is its impact on homeostasis, the...
Homeostasis is a fundamental concept in biology that refers to the body’s ability to maintain stability and balance in the face of changing external conditions. The concept of homeostasis is crucial for the survival of all living organisms, including humans. In the context of the...
