Question 4 • PA Human Anatomy & Physiology A 2026-2027 WHITE IC

The overall purpose of homeostasis in the body is to

Answer
A
store fat and release energy.
B
act as the building blocks for proteins.
C
maintain a stable internal environment.
D
send and receive information throughout the body.

Explanation

Homeostasis is the process of keeping the body's internal conditions—such as temperature, water balance, and blood sugar—within stable ranges. Therefore, the correct choice is “maintain a stable internal environment.” The other choices describe functions of fat, amino acids, and the nervous system, not homeostasis overall.
