The maintenance of constant internal body conditions is referred to as which of the following terms?
A
Buffering
B
Neturalizing
C
Homeostasis
D
Osmoregultion
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 maintained by a series of control mechanisms functioning at the organ, tissue or cellular level. These control mechanisms include substrate supply, activation or inhibition of individual enzymes and receptors, synthesis and degradation of enzymes, and compartmentalization.

Detailed explanation-3: -Homeostasis in mammals involves physiological control systems that maintain the internal environment within restricted limits. The importance of maintaining a stable core temperature and stable blood pH in relation to enzyme activity.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct option is A Homeostasis. Homeostasis is the tendency of the body to seek and maintain a condition of balance or equilibrium, maintaining parameters such as blood pressure, water content, temperature etc around a set point, in its internal environment, even when faced with external changes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Living organisms keep their internal environments within a certain range (they maintain a stable internal condition), despite changes in their external environment. This process is called homeostasis, and is an important characteristic of all living organisms.
