What is homeostatis?

Answer 1

Homeostasis is the property of an open system, especially living organisms, to regulate its internal environment to maintain a stable, constant condition, by means of multiple dynamic equilibrium adjustments, controlled by interrelated regulation mechanisms. The term was coined in 1932 by Walter Cannon from the Greek homoios (same, like, resembling) and stasis (to stand, posture).

Answer 3

The ability or tendency of an organism or cell to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting its physiological processes.

All sorts of factors affect the suitability of the human body fluids to sustain life; these include properties like temperature, salinity, and acidity, and the concentrations of nutrients such as glucose, various ions, oxygen, and wastes, such as carbon dioxide and urea. Since these properties affect the chemical reactions that keep bodies alive, there are built-in physiological mechanisms to maintain them at desirable levels.

Homeostasis is not the reason for these ongoing unconscious adjustments. It should be thought of as a general characterization of many normal processes in concert, not their proximal cause. Moreover, there are numerous biological phenomena which do not conform to this model, such as anabolism.

Answer 4

Homeostatis is the "mechanism" that keeps the body temperature constant as far as I know.

Answer 5

The ability or tendency of an organism or cell to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting its physiological processes.

Answer 6

Misspelled. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a relatively constant internal
environment.

Answer 7

to make it simple and brief, homeostasis is the maintenance of the internal environment in the living body which is always influenced by the ever changing external environment.
for example, temperature,pH of blood ,salt content,blood sugar level.....all these are maintained perfectly by the mechanism of the organs in our body.pH of blood by kidney which regulates the content of H+ ions in the blood to maintain the pH of the blood, sugar level in the blood by liver and pancreas,salt content in the blood kidney,temperature by mechanisms like perspiration,etc

Answer 8

homeostasis is the process by which the body maintains itself. "Homeo" means same and "stasis" means state, so same state explains it all. when you have a fever that rises beyond your normal body temp. your have a positive feedback. when the body regulates itself to its normal state, you have a negative feedback. also when your body temp. drops down from the normal body temp. you also call it a positive feedback. negative feedback occurs when the body rises its temp. back to normal.

Answer 9

A state of balance.

Answer 10

a state of well being, a balanced state
