About

    Homeostasis is the ability of an organism to maintain internal stability and balance despite external changes. This process involves various physiological mechanisms that regulate temperature, pH, nutrient levels, and other factors within the body. Homeostasis is essential for the health and survival of all living organisms, as it ensures that internal conditions remain within optimal ranges for proper functioning. Research in the field of homeostasis seeks to understand the mechanisms and processes involved in maintaining stability and identify potential disruptions that can lead to disease or dysfunction. This research may involve studying hormonal regulation, feedback loops, and cellular processes that contribute to maintaining homeostasis in different organisms.
