Hello steemian,

Adaptation , in biology , process by which an animal or plant species becomes fitted to its environment; it is the result of natural selection ’s acting upon heritable variation . Even the simpler organisms must be adapted in a great variety of ways: in their structure, physiology, and genetics, in their locomotion or dispersal, in their means of defense and attack, in their reproduction and development, and in other respects.

It is possible to acclimatize to a wide range of temperature and humidity. When traveling to high altitudes, our bodies adjust to climate of that environment so that our cells still receive sufficient oxygen.

There are various ways (include the physiological way) our body used to respond to internal and external stresses such as bacteria and viral infection, air and water pollution, dietary balance and overcrowding.
