Definition

The term homeostasis is used to describe the optimal, stable state of a biological system such as a cell, tissue, organ or whole living organism, which is maintained by strictly regulated physiological processes. Homeostasis is a state of dynamic equilibrium, self-regulating primarily by feedback mechanisms to compensate for changes caused by external agents.Maintenance of homeostasis is related to the fact that the processes of controlled cell death, apoptosis, are balanced by the processes of cell proliferation enhanced by biologically active growth factors.^[1] ^[2]
