Answer 1

homeostasis

Step-by-step explanation:

Homeostasis Also known as homeostasis, it is the tendency of living organisms and other systems to adapt to new conditions and maintain balance despite changes. It is a compound word that comes from the Greek homeo or homo that means equal and stasis that means still.

The interstitial fluid comes from the bascular fluid and both are extracellular fluid. Intracellular and extracellular fluids form the fluid of the whole body, which constitutes 60% of it. Much of the fluid comes out of the lymphatic vessels. To regulate the balance, there are some homeostasis regulatory mechanisms: local, regional and central.

In Biology homeostasis is the state of dynamic equilibrium or the set of mechanisms by which all living beings tend to achieve stability in the properties of their internal environment and therefore of the biochemical composition of cell fluids and tissues, to maintain life, being the basis of physiology.
