The implications for disease and disability when homeostasis is not maintained can be quite severe. One is that the body will shut down because it has no way to defend itself.

What happens if homeostatis is not maintained properly?

Homeostasis is your body's way of keeping things like temperature and blood pH level within acceptable ranges. What happens when you fall out of homeostasis depends on what system fails. For example, if your body produces too much insulin, it will take too much sugar out of your blood which may lead to loss of consciousness or death if left untreated. Any homeostatic system that fails is likely to cause death after a period of time, if left untreated.


What happens to the circulatory system when it does not maintain homeostasis?

The circulatory system does not maintain homeostasis. Homeostasis is maintained by the kidneys and the hypothalamus. If the circulatory system is out of homeostasis, then there are many abnormal conditions that can result. The number one cause of death in the US is cardiovascular disease. This is due to atherosclerosis and hypertension. These are the result of an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise as well as depression as a result of a stressful environment that is common in our culture. When all these factors come into play, the system that is affected the most happens to be the circulatory system. It is not the causative factor in a homeostasis imbalance, but that is where it most often shows up as pathology.
