Homeostasis
Homeostasis is the body’s ability to maintain equilibrium and a constant internal environment by adjusting physiological processes. Even though external conditions have the ability to change dramatically, the physiological mechanisms within the body respond to disturbances and limit the amount on internal change. Homeostasis is controlled by the Hypothalamus within the brain, which is responsible for the sensitivity of picking up these external changes in order to protect the function of the vital organs. Examples of these changes include blood glucose, pH levels, and body temperature. The body has in place defence mechanisms to prevent it from experiencing dramatic change or veering from equilibrium, which could result in failure in bodily functions. In order to achieve this, the body has in place positive feedback systems and negative feedback systems.
Negative feedback systems are the primary homeostatic mechanisms that keep a particular variable close to a specific value or set point. A homeostatic mechanism has at least two components: a sensor and a control center. The sensor is responsible for detecting a change in the internal environment, and the control center is responsible for bringing into effect a response to change the conditions back to normal. Essentially, a negative feedback system mechanism is a response present when the output of the system resolves or corrects the original stimulus.
Positive feedback is a mechanism that brings about an increasing change in the same direction brought upon by a response or stimulus. In a situation where positive feedback mechanisms are involved, when a stimulus stimulates sensory receptors, and the original stimulus is assisted by particular hormones, or by a response within the metabolic processes in the body.

biochemical homeostatic imbalances in the muscular system
A condition called Renal acidosis occurs when the kidneys don't remove acid from the blood and wastes properly, leaving the circulating blood to acidic. The kidneys normally regulate the body's pH controlling acids. As a result, muscle cramps, back pain, and muscle weakness are homeostatic imbalances seen in the body as a result of this imbalance.
Lactic acidosis is the buildup of lactic acid in the blood stream, generally produced when oxygen levels drop. Its most common cause is intensive or prolonged exercise. As a result, muscle fatigue may consequently follow.
