Refers to the state of our internal environment. We might experience homeostatic equilibrium (internal balance) as a sense of well-being or calm. Homeostasis acts as a coping mechanism that seeks to maintain a condition of balance within our internal environment whendealing with changes in stimuli under varying degrees of stress. The three major systems that maintain homeostasis are the autonomic nervous system, the neuroendocrine system, and the limbic system, which is also described as our motivational state. Often used interchangeably with equilibrium.[1]
