Definition of homeostasis. : a relatively stable state of equilibrium or a tendency toward such a state between the different but interdependent elements or groups of elements of an organism, population, or group striving to achieve homeostasis.
According to the 'Oxford Colour Medical Dictionary, Third Edition'. homeostasis is the the physiological process by which the internal. systems of the body (e.g. blood pressure, body temperature, acid-base. balance) are maintained at equilibrium, despite variations in the. external conditions. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment within. tolerance limits, this is the restricted range of conditions where. cellular operations effectively work at a consistent rate and maintain. life. These conditions include temperature, blood glucose levels, pupil. diameter control and many more.
