Homeostasis is the property of a system, either open or closed, that regulates its internal environment so as to maintain a stable, constant condition

for example when u jump in cold water your body will soon remain homeostasis and u will get used to this cold water and you will not even feel it
A state of balance in the human body, or the ability of a living being to regulate it's internal system.

Unlike human attitude which is ever changing, our body keeps things pretty uniform (stringent!) manner. For ex. pH of blood can tend to vary due to several cause but it adjust and keep it always7.35-7.45 only. Same applies to any ions(chlordides,Mg,Mn etc), hormones, body temperature,pressure! etc.. all are in uniform manner.

This what we call in science as homeostasis.

Homeostatis is an adaptation that allows the body to keep its temperature maintained according to external or environment.. If the environmental temprature is changing constantly.. Body will try to maintain the internal temp.

I would describe homeostasis as the process of keeping something the way it is. For example, mammals maintain a constant body temperature, no matter what the weather is like, which is a form of homeostasis.

it is called the balance of body function because it balances your body tempurature, so you don't become too cold or too hot.

too hot = sweating

too cold= shivering
