Understand that homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment and that body water content and body temperature are both examples of homeostasis
Homeostasis - Conditions are kept at the same or constant throughout
Homeothermic - Temperature are kept the same or constant
Organisms such as mammal keeps their body temperature constant despite changes in the temperature of the environment. These organisms are called homeothermic organisms.
Mammals always keep their body temperature constant because enzymes have a point of temperature which is called optimum temperature (maximum) . They would try to keep their body temperature as close to the optimum temperature as possible.
