Homeostasis

Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment, and is the reason your body experiences changes such as increased heart rate, shortness of breath and sweating during exercise. Homeostasis is a constant procedure for the body- balancing blood chemicals, body temperature, gas levels and millions of other tiny jobs we don’t even know about yet. Without homeostasis, important functions such body temperature and chemical composition would be under less control than a prison riot.
