Detailed explanation-1: -Homeostasis consists of the regulation of all of the options except for body weight, which depends on caloric consumption.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -A commonly seen example of homeostatic imbalance is diabetes. In a diabetic, the endocrine system has difficulty maintaining the correct blood glucose levels, so diabetics must closely monitor their blood glucose levels, as shown in Figure below.
Detailed explanation-4: -Adjustment of physiological systems within the body is called homeostatic regulation, which involves three parts or mechanisms: (1) the receptor, (2) the control center, and (3) the effector.
