If you are talking about control of the total internal environment then you may mean homeostasis rather than haemostasis. Haemostasis is the control of bleeding by the body. Homeostasis roughly literally means "steady state". A definition could be: The process that keeps the conditions within your body at the optimum level for cell function.

If you don't maintain conditions within your body constant then your cells will die and so will you.
