Understand the concept of homeostasis, which is the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions.
Learn about the three levels of prevention in healthcare: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
Primary prevention aims to prevent disease or injury before it occurs, such as through vaccination or healthy lifestyle choices.
