Introduction Homeostasis is the propensity to resist external influences, allowing internal conditions to maintain stable and relatively constant for an organisms optimal survival. The heath of an organism is dependent heavily upon the effectual homeostatic regulation of the human anatomy. If a homeostatic imbalance occurs illnesses and diseases arise due to regulatory mechanisms being unable…

Homeostasis, derived from the Greek words home meaning similar and stasis meaning stable (1), is a dynamic state of equilibrium in which the internal and external environments of the body are maintained (2). The maintenance of homeostasis is the most important aspect of the human body. The roots of homeostatic control lay with cellular functions…

Homeostasis according to Colbert et al (2012) is a control system that corrects any discrepancies found in the body, it then works to keep the levels balanced and any variations that are recognised are then brought back to their baseline. Waugh and Grant (2006) also stated that control systems inside the body are required to…

Abstract Homeostasis is thrown out of its set point as a response to a stressor, like an exercise. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether an active person will have a more effective physiological response to the stress of exercise than the less active person. The proposed hypothesis is that the physical…

Homeostasis is the self-regulatory system within human body and it also exists in animals body as well. It aims on maintaining the internal condition within ones body, according to Betts et al (2017). Homeostasis is particularly significant in ones body, as the failure of the homeostasis in ones body might cause different kinds of disease,…

Living in this ever-evolving world of ours was never an easy task for any of us. Things gradually change over time and even consistency of routines and activities we perform every day doesnt give us assurance that things will do stay as they are. Thinking we do not hold or even have a grasp of…

Introduction Homeostasis is the maintenance of a steady state within the body despite changes in the external environment. The steady state is the optimum level for the bodys functions. For homeostasis to work the system needs to have sensors, a comparator, a set point, effectors, feedback control and a communication system. In humans, two systems…
