The Importance of

Homeostasis to Humans and

Living Things
BY: GROUP 7
  Homeostasis refers to the
maintenance of the internal
environment in the body of an
organism
 Any self-regulating process by which
an organism tends to maintain
stability while adjusting to
What is conditions that are best for its
survival
Homeostasis?  3 MAIN COMPONENTS:
Receptor, Control Center and
Effector
The Importance of Homeostasis to Humans
and Living Things

 Prepares an optimum internal environment so that all life processes in an organism will
function properly
 Enables organisms to live in a wide range of habitat
 Controls the metabolism rate of an organism to be efficient according to the body’s needs
 Allows the reactions catalysed by enzymes to occur at an optimal rate
 Maintains a stable and balanced internal environment despite the changes in the external
enviroment
In general,
homeostasis is
essential for normal
cell function and
overall balance so
we need it in order
to properly grow,
work and survive
We should always be grateful that homeostasis enables the
internal environment of our body to be regulated and
maintained in a balanced and a stable condition. What would
happen without homeostasis?

When the cells in your body do not work correctly, homeostatic

balance is disrupted. Homeostatic imbalance may lead to a state
of disease or worse, death.
Conclusion

 AS A CONCLUSION,HOMEOSTASIS IS
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR HUMANS AND
LIVING THINGS TO SURVIVE :)
