Abstract

This article focuses on homeostasis and offers a pathophysiological perspective. The dynamic mechanisms responsible for maintaining internal balance and disruptive processes will be analysed through the lens of key systems including the nervous, endocrine and renal systems. The environmental factors and their potential impact on homeostasis have been considered. A clinical case study will contextualise homeostasis in clinical practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
