Homeostasis Homeostasis
Homeostasis is the term used to describe Homeostasis is the term used to describe the relatively constant states maintained the relatively constant states maintained by the body—internal environment by the body—internal environment around body cells remains constantaround body cells remains constant
Homeostasis Homeostasis
