In this deck, we'll explore homeostasis, the vital process your body uses to keep its internal environment stable and constant. We'll cover how it controls your blood sugar and body temperature using a clever system called negative feedback.

Homeostasis is defined as the maintenance of a constant internal environment. Think of it like your body's internal control centre, constantly making adjustments to keep factors like temperature and glucose concentration within a narrow, safe range.

The main way your body achieves homeostasis is through negative feedback. This is a control system where, if a condition deviates from its normal level, or 'set point', the body triggers a response to reverse the change and bring it back to that set point.
