There are many cases of homeostasis mechanism. In this mechanism, there will be a receptor that will catch a condition. After that, an order will be sent to various place depend on the condition.
One of them is temperature control which was done by shivering or sweating. When your body temperature is too high, the thermoreceptor will detect it and then the brain will send the order to the body sweat glands. Sweat on body surface will evaporate and reduce body temperature.
When the temperature is too low, the brain will tell the muscle to shiver so you can produce heat.

Other than temperature, homeostasis also control blood pressure, or many chemical level(oxygen, glucose).

Answer:

Explanation:

Ossification is the process of bone tissue formation. Osteoblasts are responsible for the process of ossification. It begins when the fetus is three months old and goes on till 25 years of age. Upper limbs get ossified first, followed by lower limbs, sternum and vertebrae.

There are two types of ossification processes. When bone is directly developed using the primitive connective tissue (mesenchyme) it is called as  intramembranous ossification, while in endochondral ossification cartilage is used as a precursor.
