What is Homeostasis?
The coordinated physiological process which maintains a steady state of ‘internal constancy’ or ‘mileau interior’ is called Homeostasis.
In other words , ‘internal constancy’ is maintained by various organs of our body like- Brain, Heart, Lungs,Liver, Kidney etc
This internal constancy is a ‘closed loop system’ and is responsible for the independent existence of an individual .
Primary insults like injury or sepsis makes this closed loop system in to an 'open loop.' The aim of medical/surgical intervention is to make this 'open loop' back in to 'closed loop.'
Artificial augmentation of homeostasis is called Resuscitation.
Provision of organ support for homeostasis is called Critical Care.
