  • Homeostasis
    • maintenance of a constant internal environment in order to ensure optimum conditions for enzymes and cellular functions
      • Controls
        • blood glucose conc.
        • Body temperature
    • Controls
      • blood glucose conc.
      • Body temperature
    • Control system
      • receptor
        • Detects changes in the environment
          • co-ord centre obtains and process info from the receptors
