    Maintaining a normal body temperature is crucial for optimal health and is one important aspect of homeostasis. Homeostasis is the body’s ability to balance varying internal conditions within narrow limits despite a constantly changing outside environment (Marieb & Hoehn‚ 2016). When a person is subjected to stimuli‚ which is a change in the variable‚ such as cold weather‚ temperature sensitive receptors in a person’s skin called thermoreceptors‚ detect this change. The receptors then respond providing

    process of homeostasis has taken the role of maintaining the body’s ability to properly function. Homeostasis is defined as a process in the body that attempts to stabilize and maintain a constant condition in a biological system by means of automatic mechanisms that work against influences leaning towards disequilibrium. This action primarily aims to preserve relative constancy in the body when severe changes occur in the external environment‚ as it very important for the body to maintain homeostasis

By keeping this internal balance it allows our bodies to function efficiently. The negative feedback loop is produced when changes to our internal environment changes from its normal range. In this instance the brain and the nervous system

    Characteristics can help to classify organisms apart. I.e. we can tell that a mammal (human)‚ a fish is different by seeing that fishes live in water‚ humans live on land. Fishes breathe underwater by their gills while the mammals (humans) breathe oxygen with their lungs. Another example could be how reptiles and birds are different‚ the most obvious is where the birds have feathers and reptiles have rough skin with no feathers. The last example is where the amphibians are cold-blooded‚ lay eggs
