Summary Introduction

To imagine: The integrated responses of an animal’s body to other major homeostatic challenges.

Introduction: The systemic homeostasis inside the body of an animal is an ability to maintain the condition of dynamic equilibrium. This dynamic equilibrium presents the mechanisms by which the organisms can maintain the constant composition of their body parts and other ultrastructures of the body. The pH, temperature, blood pressure, blood composition, ions level, and the levels of the metabolic wastes in the body are all the types of variables which are involved in maintaining equilibrium.
