Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Homeostasis refers to the ability of an organism to maintain the internal environment of the body within limits that allow it to survive.

Detailed explanation-2: -Homeostasis is the tendency to resist change in order to maintain a stable, relatively constant internal environment. Homeostasis typically involves negative feedback loops that counteract changes of various properties from their target values, known as set points.

Detailed explanation-3: -The state of balance within all physical systems needed for a body to function properly and survive is homeostasis. In a state of homeostasis, body levels are constantly adjusting in response to changes outside and inside the body. Some of the systems that constantly adjust to stay at normal levels are: blood sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -Homeostasis is the body’s attempt to maintain a constant and balanced internal environment, which requires persistent monitoring and adjustments as conditions change. Homeostatic regulation is monitored and adjusted by the receptor, the command center, and the effector.

Detailed explanation-5: -Homeostasis is the ability to maintain internal stability in an organism in response to the environmental changes. The internal temperature of the human body is the best example of homeostasis.
