Explain the role of homeostasis and its mechanisms as these relate to the body as awhole and predict the consequences of the failure to maintain homeostasis.
Homeostasis means equilibrium. For the body to function properly a constant equilibrium is needed when there is environmental changes homeostatic regulation allows an organism to function effectively in a broad range of environmental conditions. If there is a failure with homeostasis it will most likely cause diseases such as diabetes, where the blood sugar is not at a constant.
