Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a constant internal environment in response to environmental changes. It is a unifying principle of Biology. The nervous and endocrine systems control homeostasis in the body through feedback mechanisms involving various organs and organ systems. Examples of homeostatic processes in the body include temperature control, pH balance, water and electrolyte balance, blood pressure, and respiration.

∙ 7y agoHomeostasis means balance. The best example is the one involving sugar (glucose) in the body. Our bodies need insulin to absorb glucose. When we eat, the glucose level increases and more insulin is released. As the glucose is absorbed, the level in the blood will drop and there will be a corresponding decrease in the level of insulin production.
