    The Basic Mechanisms of Homeostasis Overview of homeostasis The term homeostasis was first coined by Walter Cannon in 1929 to literally mean ‘steady state’. It describes the dynamic equilibrium by which internal constancy is maintained within set limits by regulation and control. There are many examples of homeostatic control throughout the human body and in other living organisms‚ such as pH‚ pressure‚ and temperature. A concept important to homeostasis is the process of feedback circuits;

    of Langerhans are Insulin and Glucagon‚ these can be found within the pancreas. Insulin reduces the levels of blood glucose in the body. When high levels of glucose are present in the blood‚ this stimulates the release of insulin from the beta cells. Whereas glucagon acts as an antagonist of insulin and raises the level of blood glucose in the body‚ glucagon is released by the alpha cells stimulated by the low levels of glucose (Farrell‚ M and Dempsey‚ J 2011 p‚ 1222). Insulin is an anabolic‚ or
