Explanation:

Homeostasis, from the Greek words for "same" and "steady," refers to any process that living things use to actively maintain fairly stable conditions necessary for survival. The term was coined in 1930 by the physician Walter Cannon.

Examples include thermoregulation, blood glucose regulation, baroreflex in blood pressure, calcium homeostasis, potassium homeostasis, and osmoregulation.

PROCESS OF HOMEOSTASIS IN THE HUMAN BODY

Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment (regulating hormones, body temp., water balance, etc.). ... As the body works to maintain homeostasis, any significant deviation from the normal range will be resisted and homeostasis restored through a process called a feedback loop.

Answer:

Hi there :)

Explanation:

HOMEOSTASIS

A property of cells, tissues, and organisms that allows the maintenance and regulation of the stability and constancy needed to function properly.

- In simple terms,  Homeostasis is any self-regulating process by which an organism tends to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are best for its survival. If homeostasis is successful, life continues; if it's unsuccessful, it results in a disaster or death of the organism.

Hope it helps :)

The elementary body is the infectious substance, they are non replicating and have a rigid outer membrane that binds to the receptors present on the host cell and it initiates the infection and due to the rigid outer membrane there, no fusion between the phagosome and the lysosome hence oppose the intracellular killing.

Reticulate bodies are the metabolically active form of a chlamydia and non-infectious.
