Homeostasis is a living organism's homeostasis is a living organism's attempt to cool off, even when it is cold outside. attempt to carry out photosynthesis even when there is no sunlight present. ability to pump blood through the body. ability to hibernate during cold times of the year. ability to maintain constant internal conditions even when environmental conditions change.

Homeostasis is the ability of the body to -Respond to stimuli in such a way as to get further from set points - engage primarily in positive- feedback loops to continually elevate the response to a stimulus - Prevent the external environment from changing - Quickly restore changed internal conditions to normal - Ignore external stimuli to remain in a state of rest
