Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The importance of movement in homeostasis.
Introduction:
Homeostasis is the ability of an organism to balance its internal environment with respect to ever changing external environment. This balance is very important and failure to maintain it can be very damaging to the organism. Various systems within the body coordinate with each other to maintain homeostasis, for example nervous and endocrine system in humans.
