In biology, relating to or exhibiting heterostasis; having unequal or different static conditions or pressures within an organism.
From 'hetero-' (different) + 'static' (from Greek 'statikos,' relating to standing/position). A technical term describing varying physiological states or equilibria.
Your body maintains 'heterostatic' conditions—different parts work at different temperatures, pH levels, and pressures, yet somehow they all cooperate perfectly!
