HOMEOSTASIS

 

🌟 Introduction to Homeostasis ❆☀ 

Every living thing needs to keep its inside world balanced and stable, even when the outside world changes.
This balance is called homeostasis.



🔎 Explanation

  • Definition: Homeostasis is the process by which the body keeps its internal conditions (like temperature, water, and sugar level) stable so it can work properly.

  • Why important? If our body gets too hot, too cold, too dry, or has too much/little sugar, our organs can’t work well.




🧍 Examples in Humans

  1. Body Temperature:

    • If it’s hot, you sweat to cool down.

    • If it’s cold, you shiver to warm up.

  2. Water Balance:

    • If you drink too little water, your body saves water by making dark yellow urine.

    • If you drink a lot, your urine becomes clear.

  3. Blood Sugar:

    • After eating sweets, sugar in the blood rises.

    • The hormone insulin helps bring sugar back to normal.


✅ In Short

Homeostasis = keeping balance inside the body so we can stay alive and healthy, even when the environment changes.
