Answer:

Homeostasis

Explanation:

Homeostasis indicates the body's property of remaining in balance even when radical changes occur in the external environment. Homeostasis is a regulatory system of the body, it is responsible for keeping our body in constant balance. An example of homeostasis can be seen in the question above, where it shows that when the glucose level is too low, the pancreas secretes glucagon, which causes the glucose level to rise; If the glucose level is too high, the insulin hormone will lower the glucose level.

Homeostasis is guaranteed by physiological processes that occur in a coordinated manner in the body. Among the main mechanisms of homeostatic control, we can mention those that control body temperature, pH, body fluid volume, blood pressure, heartbeat, blood element concentrations, hormone release and so on.
