    to humans to fish‚ maintaining homeostasis through regulating temperature‚ nutrients‚ gas-exchange‚ and hydration is key to survival. Most of these processes are performed regardless of outside environment (such as breathing). However‚ the ways other processes perform are based entirely on what the system (body) of an organism is encountering outside the system. It is extremely important that an organism respond to changes in the environment to maintain homeostasis‚ or illness and death will occur

    composition of extracellular and intracellular fluids is vital to life. List and briefly describe the kinds of homeostasis involved. In males and females‚ intracellular fluid has a greater proportion of total body water than does extracellular fluid. Give-and-take between the ICF and the ECF happens across plasma membranes by osmosis‚ diffusion‚ and carrier-mediated transport. The kinds of homeostasis involved are fluid Balance‚ electrolyte Balance‚ and Acid–Base Balance. Fluid balance is when the quantity

The word is used to explain how organisms maintain a constant internal condition when there is a very different external condition. Thermoregulation is a homeostatic mechanism involving the maintenance of an organism’s body temperature within certain limits. It is necessary because it keeps the body temperature stable‚ even when the surrounding temperature is too hot or too cold. This is important because if
