Homeostasis is the ability to maintain balance in the body even in fluctuating external conditions. In order for the body to keep this constant internal state it must be able to recognise and detect changes in the external environment‚ these changes are referred to as stimuli as they are what stimulate the change in internal conditions. The body detects these changes with receptors which communicate signals to the hypothalamus in the brain which is the control centre for this homeostatic system.
