The key takeaways are that homeostasis refers to maintaining stable internal conditions and involves feedback mechanisms. Negative feedback loops help regulate various processes like temperature and hormone levels.

Homeostasis is the maintenance of stable internal conditions and often uses negative feedback loops. The body has set points for things like temperature and regulates processes to keep values within normal ranges if they fluctuate outside them.

An example of a negative feedback loop is regulating body temperature - if it rises too high the body sweats and blood vessels dilate to lower it back to the set point.
