What are the examples of homeostasis?

Posted June 11, 2024


Answer

Examples of homeostasis: 

  • Fluid homeostasis: Fluid homeostasis is responsible for regulating the water: electrolyte concentration in different bodily fluids. 
  • Blood pressure homeostasis: Blood pressure in the heart and blood vessels is maintained by blood pressure homeostasis. 
  • Glucose homeostasis: In glucose homeostasis, the balanced and opposing action of glucagon and insulin hormones helps to maintain desirable glucose levels in the blood. 
  • Calcium homeostasis: The calcium homeostasis mechanism helps to balance the calcium levels in the body. 
  • Acid-base homeostasis: The pH value of the intercellular and extracellular fluids in the body is regulated by acid-base homeostasis.
