Why is homeostasis important? - KScience
What is homeostasis ? homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment. Automatic control systems throughout the body maintain temperature and water at steady levels, which are required for cells to function properly. Strenuous exercise and survival in hot or cold climates affect homeostasis . They affect temperature, blood oxygen levels, hydration and salt examples are scuba diving and mountain climbing. Artificial systems, such as the temperature control system in an incubator, are similar to body control systems. Artificial and body systems have receptors to detect stimuli, processing centres to receive information and coordinate responses and effectors which produce the response automatically.
