there are 3 ways they maintain homeostatis:
some are behavioural changes
panting
shade seeking behaviour- to reduce radiation exposure
migration- to move to more suitable climates
curling up- reduce surface area to volume ratio
others include structual changes (you can not change this)
large size- for low surface to volume ratio
round shape/short extensions- low surface to area volume ratio
then you have physiological changes this is done by either the hormone (endocrine) system or nervous system
vasioconstriction- reduce blood flow to extemeties
shivering- increase metabolic heat produced
as you can see these adaptions are used to create a negative feedback.What this means is it is the oposite to the stimulas. For example if you get cold(stimulas) you may shiver which creates heat and warms your body( the opposite effect of being cold and thus the reverse to the stimulas)
your body must give of heat if it is going to maintain homeostasis. You eat to maintain homeostasis.
are unable to maintain homeostasis
Sometimes release oxygen if they have too much oxygen to maintain homeostasis
A rabbit is able to maintain homeostasis with its fur coat and the ability to shiver.
Cells must dispose of wastes in order to maintain their homeostasis
Homeostasis identifies the cells ability to maintain its internal conditions.

Muscular dystrophy disrupts homeostasis by weakening the body’s ability to maintain internal stability, especially within muscle tissue. Because these conditions involve progressive muscle fiber damage, normal cycles of repair, energy use, and cellular balance are impaired. Healthy muscles play important roles in metabolism, glucose regulation, circulation, posture, and temperature control. As muscles deteriorate, chronic inflammation, fatigue, and reduced mobility can disturb these finely tuned processes. The effects are not limited to skeletal muscles. In some forms of muscular dystrophy, the heart and respiratory muscles may also be affected, which can influence oxygen delivery, cardiovascular efficiency, and overall physiological equilibrium. Reduced physical activity further contributes to secondary changes, including altered insulin sensitivity and bone density, adding to the challenge of maintaining homeostasis. Although there is no single cure, supportive management focuses on preserving function and slowing decline. Rehabilitation, respiratory care, nutrition, and carefully planned medical interventions are often combined to help stabilize the body’s systems. Some patients consider structured combination therapy approaches offered by organizations such as MedicoExperts, which coordinate multidisciplinary strategies aimed at improving muscle function, mobility, and quality of life under medical supervision.
Homeostasis
All living organisms maintain homeostasis.
Plant cells maintain homeostasis in an hypotonic environment by having cells walls that keep them from exploding
homeostasis is the blance in the body to maintain
