Expert Solution

Introduction

Homeostasis is the state of equilibrium of the internal body in a variable external environment. This is required to maintain various aspects of the body such as temperature, pH, or salt concentrations.

There are major 4 components of homeostasis, these are:

Stimulus:- Any change (increases or decrease) in the external environment which alter the stable normal state of the body.
Receptors:- These detect and sense sensory information and send it to the brain.
control center:- It is the brain where nerve impulses are received and further the body produces specific responses against stimuli.
Effector:- it receives signals from the brain and takes appropriate actions required to achieve a stable state of the body.
