Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Organ reserve refers to the extra capacity of organs that allows them to function effectively even when there is damage or stress. Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain stable internal conditions despite external changes, and allostasis refers to the body's ability to adapt to stressors and maintain overall stability. Together, these three functions help protect emerging adults from various physical and environmental challenges. The other answer choices may also have protective functions, but they are not specifically identified as important for emerging adults.
