State
Homeostasis is the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment despite changes in the world outside an organism.
Show
A polar bear generates heat and traps it under fur and fat, holding its internal temperature steady in freezing air.
Watch for
Homeostasis holds conditions within a narrow working range; it does not hold them perfectly constant.
