BBC - The Importance Of Homeostasis
Cells depend on the body environment to live and function. Homeostasis keeps the body environment under control and keeps the conditions right for cells to live and function.

The Importance Of Homeostasis
Among the most important features of the human body that we must be aware of is homeostasis. Homeostasis is not a collection of organs, but a synthesis of bodily functions that collectively keeps the entire body stable.

BBC Bitesize - Homeostasis and Hormones
Conditions in the body are controlled, to provide a constant internal environment. This is called homeostasis. The conditions that must be controlled include body temperature, water content, carbon dioxide level, and blood sugar level.

Homeostasis - Biology Reference
Living cells can function only within a narrow range of such conditions as temperature, pH , ion concentrations, and nutrient availability, yet living organisms must survive in an environment where these and other conditions vary from hour to hour, day to day, and season to season.

Homeostasis - Encyclopedia
The concept of homeostasis is widely used, in physiology and psychology, to identify what seems to be a general attribute of living organisms: the tendency to maintain and restore certain steady states or conditions of the organism.

Pulmonary Aspergillosis - Allergic Bronchopulmonary Type
Homeostasis is a state of balance inside the body, where the body systems work together to keep it functioning normally. The endocrine system keeps this internal balancing act going by releasing chemicals called hormones.

Homeostasis - MedicineNet
A property of cells, tissues, and organisms that allows the maintenance and regulation of the stability and constancy needed to function properly. Homeostasis is a healthy state that is maintained by the constant adjustment of biochemical and physiological pathways.

BBC Bitesize - Homeostasis
Homeostasis is the regulation of conditions in the body such as temperature, water content and carbon dioxide levels. Diabetes is a condition where the body cannot regulate its blood glucose levels.

Homeostasis - Britannica
Homeostasis, any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival. If homeostasis is successful, life continues; if unsuccessful, disaster or death ensues.

Homeostasis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Homeostasis or homoeostasis is the property of a system in which variables are regulated so that internal conditions remain stable and relatively constant.
