Answer to Question 1

Homeostasis is the process of maintaining internal stability. Homeostasis is an important concept in human physiology. The term is constructed from the combining form home/o, which means sameness or unchanging, and -stasis, which is a suffix that means standing still. If the body fails to maintain homeostasis, instability or disease results.

Answer to Question 2

xanth/o; xantho
