Chapter 23, Problem 12WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The way in which the scenario of shivering of body and increased heart rate illustrate homeostasis.
Introduction:
Homeostasis can be defined as the stability in the internal environment. It is a state of internal constancy within the body of the organism. All organism maintain this homeostasis, and without this constancy, the body might stop functioning altogether.

Platelets come to clot (block) the cut in your blood vessel. This causes more platelets to come to make the clot larger. After about 2 minutes, enough platelets have come and you stopped bleeding.
