Q. WHAT IS HOMEOSTASIS? |
|
Answer» Homeostasis is a key concept in understanding how our body works. It MEANS 'keeping things constant', and comes from two GREEK words homeo, meaning 'similar' and stasis, meaning 'stable'. A more formal definition of homeostasis is: a characteristic of a system that REGULATES its INTERNAL environment and TENDS to maintain a stable, relatively constant condition of properties. |
