Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Homeostasis is also termed a dynamic equilibrium because
A
The body maintains an internal balance, within fluctuating limits
B
In homeostasis parts of the system change but the overall system stays constant
C
ALL THE ABOVE
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Homeostasis is a dynamic equilibrium that is maintained in body tissues and organs. It is dynamic because it is constantly adjusting to the changes that the systems encounter. It is an equilibrium because body functions are kept within a normal range, with some fluctuations around a set point.

Detailed explanation-2: -Homeostasis is the regulation of variables in a system so that they remain constant and internally stable. Dynamic equilibrium is when a reaction is occurring. For example, your body regulates your internal temperature if you go outside when it’s cold by causing you to shiver.

Detailed explanation-3: -The circulatory system maintains the physical state and chemical composition of body fluid in a steady state of equilibrium by transporting nutrients, respiratory gases, water, electrolytes and excretory products to different organs and tissues of the body. This mechanism is called homoeostasis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dynamic homeostasis is the ability of a body to regulate its internal processes for the purpose of maintaining an equilibrium state. All of your body systems work together in concert with one another to maintain your body’s overall health and equilibrium in a biological sense.

Detailed explanation-5: -(HOH-mee-oh-STAY-sis) A state of balance among all the body systems needed for the body to survive and function correctly.
