Detailed explanation-1: -Homeostasis is the regulation of the internal conditions within cells and whole organisms such as temperature, water, and sugar levels. This keeps cells and organisms functioning at optimal levels even when challenged by internal and external changes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The endocrine system maintains homeostasis through a series of feedback loops, the most important of which are controlled by the hypothalamus interacting with the pituitary gland . Often, the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete an activating hormone to another gland.
Detailed explanation-3: -Homeostasis in an organism or colony of single celled organisms is regulated by secreted proteins and small molecules often functioning as signals. Homeostasis in the cell is maintained by regulation and by the exchange of materials and energy with its surroundings.
