LOSS OF HOMEOSTASIS

• Homeostasis mechanism, a system for the physiologically balanced internal environment which helps the body to cope up with the stresses of oxygen deficiency, extreme variation in temperature, energy supply, etc., is lost.
• The homeostasis is controlled by nervous system, which ceases to function within 4-6 minutes after bleeding.
• In the absence of blood supply, there is loss of body heat and temperature starts declining.
