Summary Introduction

To define: Homeostatic regulation in a way that states its physiological importance.

Introduction: The cells are the basic building blocks of the living organism. They serve as the structural and functional unit of the living system. The human body consists of about trillion of cells with their own specialized functions. They are formed from the pre-existing cells by the process of mitosis and cytokinesis. These cells perform various physiological functions.

Explanation of Solution

Homeostasis is defined as the process in which the body maintains the internal environment in an equilibrium condition. The maintenance of homeostasis is important for the survival of the organism. Homeostatic regulation is the adjustment or maintenance of the physiological system in an environment that is inconsistent and unpredictable. Dysregulation of homeostasis leads to illness or death. It consists of receptor, control center, and effector. It is divided into two types namely negative feedback mechanism and positive feedback mechanism.
