Answer:

Homeostasis is defined as the process by which the internal body system maintains a suitable environment for its proper functions and survival.

When a person temperature drops a signal is sent to the brain which results in a reflex action being observed. The shiver makes the individual warmer and helps in the regulation of the body heat.
