Homeostasis
Homeostasis: This is a photo of a dog I took while at the class trip to the Arnorld Arboretum. As you can see in the photo the dog is panting for air because it just arrived from running to its owner. This is a perfect example of homeostasis because the dog is trying to maintain internal stability. Because of the hot weather the dog pants in order to cool itself down and balance its internal temperature. The dog lacks sweat to cool itself down so it breathes in cool air in order to cool its body down. ( In the photo I was unable to put my identifier, by the time I tried to retake the picture the dog was long gone).
