Homeostasis

If the environment gets cold, we will often shiver in order to:

This graph shows an example of...

• Homeostasis

• Negative feedback

• Positive feedback

The maintenance of an organism’s internal environment is called:

• compensating
• homeostasis
• balancing
• routine

Homeostasis

• allows for a wildly fluctuating internal environment
• is impossible in vertebrates
• is the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment and often incorporates a form of feedback regulation
• is the maintenance of a relatively stable external environment and often incorporates a form of feedback regulation
