Homeostasis is a concept agreed upon by various medical schools. It refers to maintaining the stability and equilibrium of an organism's body in the face of internal or external changes. This concept encompasses the balance of each individual organ as well as the collective balance among them to preserve the overall well-being of the living being.
Homeostasis involves multiple aspects, including chemical, physical, and functional elements. For example:
- In the field of chemistry, maintaining a natural balance of blood sugar levels (70-110 milligrams per deciliter) is essential.
- In physics, keeping blood pressure within normal limits (around 120/80 millimeters of mercury) is crucial.
- Regarding organ function, parameters like heart rate (normal range: 60-100 beats per minute) play a vital role.
