Homeostasis can be regarded as the central theme in physiology. So many things have to be maintained at correct levels in the body. They include electrolytes, dissolved gases in body fluids, optimum pH in body fluids and so on. Essentially all organs and tissues in the body perform functions that help maintain these constant conditions. For instance, the lungs provide oxygen to the ECF to replenish the oxygen used by cells, the kidneys maintain constant ion concentrations and the gastrointestinal system provide nutrients. During evolution, animals have become more complicated and specialized, so homeostasis has become more important in their physiology. Thus physiology can be viewed as a means by which homeostasis is maintained
