Homeostasis‚ also spelled homoeostasis (from Greek: ὅμοιος‚ "hómoios"‚ "similar")‚ is the property of a system in which variables are regulated so that internal conditions remain stable and relatively constant. Examples of homeostasis include the regulation of temperature and the balance between acidity and alkalinity (pH). It is a process that maintains the stability of the human body’s internal environment in response to changes in external conditions. The concept was described by Claude Bernard

(“Internal Salmon Anatomy Worksheet Key‚” 2011): Water bodies have a diversity of conditions that enable fishes to adapt to their survival. The physiological adaptation of these animals varies to a particular habitat‚ and it relates to how their metabolism works to counter the changing environment. Fish metabolic activities seek to regulate their body functions in any opportune change of their environment and adapt to it. To control the body temperature‚ fishes undergo physiological thermoregulation
