Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a constant _ environment despite_condition.

Correct answer: B. Internal, external

  • A. External, internal
  • B. Internal, external
  • C. Both A and B
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment even when faced with external changes. In the context of the question, the correct answer is option B: 'internal, external'. This is because homeostasis involves regulating internal conditions (like temperature, pH, and water balance) to remain constant despite changes in the external environment. Option A is incorrect because it reverses the relationship between internal and external environments. Option C is incorrect because only one of the statements is true. Option D is incorrect as option B provides the correct understanding of homeostasis.

About Homeostasis

Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
