Each part of the human body is engineered to do a job and for each job there is a particular structure engineered to do it. Homeostasis is the control of internal conditions, be it temperature, specific blood conditions or other variables within living organisms. The term ‘Homeostasis’ was first defined by the French physiologist, Claude Bernard, in 1865.The purpose of homeostasis is to provide a consistent internal environment for set processes to occur. The body is started by a singular cell

conditions are well documented risk factors to coronary artery disease. Insulin resistance and arterial hypertension has been shown to be more evident in patients with obesity. Obesity has been linked to an increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system, which results in elevated plasma levels of the vasoconstrictor endothelin-1, and decreased insulin-induced endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Insulin resistant adults develop hypertension and obesity more often than the average adult. Evidence also
