Homeostasis: positive/ negative feedback mechanisms. Homeostasis. The biological definition of homeostasis is âthe tendency of an organism or cell to regulate its internal environment and maintain equilibrium, usually by a system of feedback controls, so as to stabilize health and functioningâ. Generally, the body is in homeostasis when its needs are met and its functioning properly.
