Homeostasis is the maintenance of balance between an organism or cell and its environment. Without homeostasis‚ many important aspects of the body such as body temperature‚ blood sugar‚ heart rate‚ blood rate‚ and pH of blood would not be kept at the proper balance. This could eventually result in death due to improper amounts of certain substances
