MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The main organelle responsible for maintaining homeostasis is the cell membrane. Why is the cell membrane so important for maintaining homeostasis? The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, plays an important role in homeostasis via the regulation of the passage of materials into and out of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane, is found in all cells and separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer that is semipermeable. The cell membrane regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Channel proteins and carrier proteins help substances diffuse across a cell membrane. In this diagram, the channel and carrier proteins are helping substances move into the cell (from the extracellular space to the intracellular space). The channel protein has an opening that allows the substances to cross.
