Extracted text: Body too warm Body too cold Body Body cooler warmer Homeostasis is the control process that " keeps things the same". The mechanism that maintains homeostasis dampens change in the system. When a given characteristic rises above the normal level, a response results to lower the characteristic down to the normal. Similarly, when a given characteristic drops below the normal level, a response results to raise the characteristic up to the normal. This mechanism that dampens change and maintains a stable state is called O natural selection O hydrogen polarity O negative feedback O local response O uniformatarianism Shivering Body cools Sweating Body warms
