Homeostasis is the balance and stability that our body maintains to function properly. It’s like an internal “autopilot” that constantly regulates different variables, such as body temperature, blood sugar level, blood pressure, and pH.
When something disturbs this balance, our body works to restore it and return to normality. For example, if we feel cold, our body increases heat production to warm us up.
Homeostasis is essential for maintaining our health and ensuring that our organs and systems function correctly.
