Answer:

Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a constant internal environment of the body with the help of certain mechanisms such as feedback loops.

Explanation:

Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment of the body. It includes maintaining several parameters such as acid-base balance, blood glucose level, body' temperature, etc. within the narrow range.

Homeostasis is mainly maintained with the help of negative feedback loops wherein the deviation of any parameter from the normal physiological range is counteracted and restored.

For example, the blood glucose level remains within the range of 70 and 110 milligrams of glucose per 100 milliliters of blood under normal physiological conditions. Any deviation from the range is restored with the help of pancreatic hormones insulin and glucagon.

Agonist/antagonist
 Agonist are drugs that bind and activate a receptor with effecting the response.If the effect results in maximum response it is considered as full agonist. However if the drug that binds to the receptor results only into partial efficacy in relation to the full activation of the receptor, this is considered as partial agonist.

Antagonist are drugs that blocks a biologic response of a hormone or another drug. They usually have affinity to the receptors but has no efficacy. This drug will just inhibit the activation of the receptors by the aganist.
