Homeostatic Regulation
Homeostatic regulation is the body's way of maintaining a stable internal environment despite external changes. It involves processes that detect deviations—like temperature, blood sugar, or blood pressure—and initiate responses to correct them. For example, if you get too hot, your body sweats to cool down; if you're cold, it shivers to generate heat. This automatic balancing act helps ensure optimal functioning of organs and systems, keeping conditions within a normal range necessary for health and survival.
