A camel can survive several weeks without drinking water by simply eating green plants. When a camel does drink, however, it can store up to 200 liters of liquid. This feat is possible because a substance in its blood allows its body to absorb moisture much faster than a human body.

This capability is an example of
regulation.

Homeostatic (physiological) regulation — more specifically osmoregulation (the control of water and salt balance). The camel’s blood adaptations let it absorb and store large amounts of water to maintain internal balance.
