The maintenance of the stable internal conditions in an organism

Real World Example

Imagine trying to maintain a comfortable room temperature on a day when the weather outside keeps changing. This is similar to how homeostasis works in your body, where it constantly adjusts internal conditions to remain stable despite external changes. Just like a thermostat regulates heating and cooling systems to keep your room at a set temperature, your body uses various mechanisms to keep its internal environment stable, ensuring that conditions like temperature, pH, and hydration levels remain optimal for survival.
