How do your senses help maintain homeostasis?
You rely on your sensory organs to collect information about the world around you.
Once your brain has information from sensory organs, it triggers a response that will maintain homeostasis.
For example your pupils shrink when too much light enters the eyes
For example when you get goose bumps when cold air touches skin
