homeostasis
homeostasis The regulation by an organism of the chemical composition of its body fluids and other aspects of its
internal environment so that physiological processes can proceed at optimum rates. It involves monitoring changes in the external and internal environment by means of
receptors and adjusting the composition of the body fluids accordingly;
excretion and
osmoregulation are important in this process. Examples of homeostatic regulation are the maintenance of the
acid–base balance and body temperature (see
homoiothermy;
poikilothermy).
