State

Homeostasis is the body's maintenance of internal states within a narrow range around a set point.

Show

Body temperature is corrected by sweating or shivering whenever it moves off its set point.

Watch for

Set points can shift. Homeostasis defends the current set point, not a fixed ideal.
