Homeostasis Flashcards
(11 cards)
How does the Nervous System maintain Homeostasis
The nervous system helps maintain homeostasis by detecting changes in the body and quickly sending signals to organs or muscles to restore balance. It works closely with the endocrine system to regulate functions like temperature, heart rate, and breathing.
How does the Integumentary system maintain homeostasis
The integumentary system maintains homeostasis by regulating body temperature through sweating and controlling blood flow, while also acting as a barrier to protect against environmental threats. It supports balance in the body by preventing water loss, sensing external changes, and aiding in vitamin D production.
How does the Digestive System Maintain Homeostasis
The digestive system maintains homeostasis by breaking down food into nutrients and absorbing water and electrolytes to keep the body nourished and balanced. It also helps regulate pH levels and eliminates waste to prevent toxin buildup.
How does the Excretory System maintain Homeostasis
The excretory system helps maintain homeostasis by filtering and removing waste products from the blood through the kidneys. It also regulates water, salt, and pH levels to keep the internal environment stable and balanced.
How does the Cardiovascular system maintain homeostasis
The cardiovascular system maintains homeostasis by delivering oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells while removing waste products like carbon dioxide. It also helps regulate body temperature, pH levels, and fluid balance to ensure stable internal conditions.
How does the Respiratory System Maintain Homeostasis
The respiratory system helps maintain homeostasis by exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide, which supports energy production and removes acidic waste. It also regulates blood pH and filters incoming air to protect the body from harmful particles.
How does the Respiratory System and Cardiovascular System Maintain Homeostasis
The respiratory and cardiovascular systems maintain homeostasis by working together to supply oxygen to the body and remove carbon dioxide. This partnership supports energy production, regulates blood pH, and adapts to the body’s changing needs to keep internal conditions stable.
How does the Digestive System and Excretory system Maintain Homeostasis
The digestive system maintains homeostasis by absorbing nutrients and water from food, while the excretory system removes waste and regulates fluid and salt levels. Together, they keep the body’s internal environment stable by ensuring proper nutrition, hydration, and waste elimination.
How does the Digestive System and Nervous system Maintain Homeostasis
The digestive system maintains homeostasis by breaking down food and absorbing nutrients, while the nervous system regulates these processes based on the body’s needs. Together, they balance energy levels, control appetite, and ensure proper functioning of digestion in changing conditions.
How does the Integumentary System and Digestive system maintain Homeostasis Maintain Homeostasis
The integumentary system maintains homeostasis by regulating body temperature and protecting the body, while the digestive system absorbs nutrients and eliminates waste. Together, they ensure the body is nourished, hydrated, and protected from harmful elements.
How does the Endocrine system and Reproductive system maintain Homeostasis
The endocrine system maintains homeostasis by regulating hormones that control reproductive functions, growth, and metabolism. The reproductive system works in response to these hormonal signals to ensure proper reproductive health and function, supporting the body’s overall balance.
