Homeostasis

Article on other languages:

Homeostasis is when an organism allows its body to keep a stable condition. It does so by regulating its inner equilibrium. Organisms with more than one cell need a homeostatic environment to live.

Examples of homeostasis:

  • The regulation of water and minerals in the body.
  • The regulation of body temperature. This is done by sweating.

The main organs involved with homeostasis are:

  • The brain -hypothalamus and pituitary gland
  • the lungs
  • the skin
  • the muscles
  • the kidneys
  • the liver and pancreas
