Homeostasis & Balance

Picture
WHAT IS HOMEOSTASIS?
Homeostasis is the control and balance you need in your body. It basically just makes sure that whatever kind of change the body goes through, it will try to equal out and adapt to it so that our bodies are still able to function. Homeostasis would also control and help how the body would react to the new things that are occurring in the body. Your body will adjust.
