Homeostasis is the ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. This includes regulating:
* Temperature: Maintaining a stable body temperature, regardless of the surrounding environment.
* Water balance: Maintaining a proper balance of water in the body.
* pH: Maintaining a specific pH level in the blood and other fluids.
* Blood sugar: Keeping blood sugar levels within a narrow range.
* Blood pressure: Maintaining a consistent blood pressure.
Homeostasis is essential for survival and allows organisms to function optimally in a variety of conditions.
