Homeostasis
You start off as a little tiny zygote
Your heart starts beating and your brain starts to grow
You are born out of comfort into the bright lights
You learn to eat and you learn to sleep
You learn to read faces and to make them back
You learn to sit up and you learn to crawl
You are soon a fully functioning toddler
You started off as one cell and now you are millions
Your cells work together to help you function and grow
Your body intracts and reacts at lightning speed
You are exposed to an infection
Your white blood cells immediately attack
You are losing the fight
You strike a fever
Your body pushes to get back to normal
You begin to perspire to cool your body down
Your white blood cells take control over the infection
Your temperature dips down low
Your blood vessels dilate to warm you back up
You eventually get back to
Homeostasis
