The tendency of the body to seek and maintain a condition of balance or equilibrium within its internal environment,even when faced with external changes. a simple example of homeostasis is the body ability to maintain an 
internal temperature around 98.6 degrees fahrenheit, whatever the temperature outside.

Answer:

Homeostasis refers to an organism's ability to regulate various physiological processes to keep internal states steady and balanced. These processes take place mostly without our conscious awareness.

Explanation:

  • For organisms to survive, homeostasis is extremely important. It's frequently interpreted as resistance to environmental changes. Additionally, homeostasis is a self-regulating process that controls internal factors essential for maintaining life.
  • To put it another way, homeostasis refers to a mechanism that keeps the internal environment steady in the face of external environmental changes.
  • The body regulates a variety of factors, including body temperature, blood pH, blood glucose levels, fluid balance, sodium, potassium, and calcium ion concentrations, to maintain homeostasis.

Three mechanisms are necessary to maintain homeostasis:

  • Effector.
  • Receptor.
  • Central Control.
  • The entire procedure works nonstop to keep homeostasis regulation.

Receptor

  • The receptor, as its name suggests, is the sensing element in charge of keeping an eye on changes in the internal or external environment and acting accordingly.

Control Point

  • The integration centre is another name for the control centre. It receives information from the receptor and processes it.

Effector

  • The effector complies with the control center's instructions. It might counter the stimulus or make it stronger.

Our liver has a very important role to play when it comes to homeostasis. It works in relation to blood glucose. In our body, when the level of blood glucose increases after the intake of a certain meal, the liver takes out the glucose from the blood and it is stored in the form of glycogen. When the body requires it back, that is if the blood glucose levels become low, it converts the glycogen which was stored earlier back to glucose.
