What is homeostasis
What is homeostasis
Now, let's talk about the difference between homeostasis and constancy.
Sure, please go ahead!
Homeostasis is a term created by adding new knowledge to the property of 'The stability of the internal medium'.
'The stability of the internal medium' referred to here can be understood to mean the same thing as the Constancy that we have been explaining until now.
Is it correct to say that homeostasis is a term that was created by adding new discoveries to the property of maintaining a constant state of the extracellular fluid (internal environment)?
That's right! You're smarter than ever today!

The difference between homeostasis and constancy of the internal environment.
"Homeostasis" is a term coined by Walter Cannon, a physiologist from the 19th century.
Claude Bernard announced the mechanism of maintaining a constant internal environment with the term 'The stability of the internal medium' around 1860.
In around 1930, Walter Cannon identified that the "The stability of the internal medium" was maintained by the actions of the nervous system, endocrine system, and immune system, and he coined the term "homeostasis" to describe this concept.
Oh! I finally understand and agree with everything!
Well done. That concludes today's explanation.
Thank you very much!
Let's try challenging the problem one last time!
I'll do my best...
