Homeostasis
- “the tendency for living things to attempt to maintain a state of
relative stability. At either a whole-animal level or at a cellular level”
Frandson et al. (2006)
- Allows mammal’s freedom to conduct their lives regardless of outside conditions = Behavioural
Freedom
- Thermoregulation, osmoregulation, excretion, maintaining blood glucose levels, blood pressure, pH
etc…. = Healthy functioning
- An individual’s ability to survive for long enough to produce ancestors = Evolutionary & ecological
success (fitness)
- Animal can survive long enough to perhaps change its behaviour and find a more suitable
environmen = Physiological flexibility

- Negative feedback mechanism – inhibits the original effect of the stimulus (change in the opposite
direction)
- Homeostasis is the regulation of conditions in
the body such as temperature, water content
and carbon dioxide levels. Diabetes is a condition
where the body cannot regulate its blood
glucose levels.
