Introduction: Homeostasis is the tendency of the body to seek and maintain equilibrium‚ a state of balance‚ within its internal environment. Endotherms are “warm blooded” animals that produce and maintain their own internal body heat. Most mammals and a few birds‚ are endotherms; this is beneficial because the enzymes in the body that carry out metabolic processes have an optimum temperature at which they function‚ having the body constantly be‚ or be close to‚ this optimum internal temperature

change too much‚ cells can’t function properly. This is especially noticeable in sport or in extreme conditions. In sport‚ during jogging‚ the blood pressure and pulse increase to provide blood to the body’s tissue‚ and body temperature increases. Homeostatic processes allow these increases to remain at a manageable level and provide the body with a mechanism for returning internal conditions to normal when you’re finished jogging. In extreme conditions‚ such as hypothermia‚ the body’s negative feedback
