Expert Solution
Step 1: Physiological regulation

The basic mechanism known as "physiological regulation" enables the body to maintain a steady and balanced internal environment.

Maintaining this balance is essential to maintaining a range of physiological parameters that are ideal for health and optimal performance, including blood pressure, temperature, and chemical composition. The body's complex mechanisms constantly monitor and modify these parameters to counteract both internal and external changes, ultimately maintaining a state of equilibrium, which allows the body to achieve this stability.
