               Ans – A  Maintenance of Milieu interior

Discussion:

Maintenance of a steady state of internal environment is called homeostasis. It is achieved by the coordinated activities of the vital organs like brain, heart, lungs, liver and kidneys.

Provision of organ support to maintain the homeostasis is called Critical care.

Control of bleeding is called haemostasis.

Sepsis means infection. Sepsis or injury can make the closed system of the homeostasis into an open one-hence called a Primary Insult.

Metabolic response of our body in response to trauma or infection is directly proportional to the degree of primary insult.
