Homeostasis in Humans has been compiled from Biozone‘s Anatomy and Physiology PM specifically as a supplementary resource for AS 3.4 of the NZ Level 3 Achievement Standards in Biology. It focusses on the body systems and processes involved in maintaining a steady physiological state in the face of a fluctuating environment. The content includes negative feedback mechanisms, thermoregulation, blood glucose regulation, salt and water balance, and excretion. Disorders of homeostasis are addressed within these contexts.
