Homeostasis in the human body involves maintaining a stable internal environment despite external environmental changes. One example of homeostasis is the regulation of body temperature. When the body gets too hot, mechanisms such as sweating and dilation of blood vessels help cool it down. When the body gets too cold, mechanisms such as shivering and constriction of blood vessels help warm it up. This constant regulation helps maintain a stable body temperature.
