As what I have read from our Anatomy and Physiology book by Betts et al. (2013), this is a case in which how our body maintains internal balance when we are exposed to a different environment. The body must constantly check its internal conditions in order to maintain homeostasis. Every physiological condition has a set point or the normal range that the body needs to maintain to function optimally.
