In biology, homeostasis (British also homoeostasis; HOH-mee-ə-STAY-sis) is the state of steady internal physical and chemical conditions maintained by living organisms. This is the condition of optimal functioning for the organism and includes many variables, such as body temperature and fluid balance, being kept within certain pre-set limits (homeostatic range).
