Summary Introduction
In general, animals experience a wide range of environmental changes during their lifetime on earth. However, many of them can maintain several physiological states like blood pH and body temperature. The external environment of cells may vary, however, the internal environment of cells remains comparatively constant. This consistency is important for numerous functions, which supports life.
