Question | Answer |
---|---|
Homeostatic Function of the Reproductive System | Passes genetic code containing information for forming a body and maintaining homeostasis to offspring |
Homeostatic function of the Urinary System | Maintains constantly low level of waste and regulates pH of internal environment; helps maintain consistency of internal water volume and balance of ions and other substances |
Homeostatic Function of the Digestive System | Maintains a relatively constant nutrient level within the body by digesting food and absorbing nutrients into the internal environment |
Homeostatic function of the respiratory system | Maintains stable 02 and CO2 levels in the body by exchanging these gases between external and internal environments; provides vocal communication to others for protection, hunting... |
Homeostatic function of the Lymphatic System | Defends internal environment against harmful agents |
Homeostatic Function of the Cardiovascular System | Maintains internal constancy by transporting nutrients, water, oxygen, hormones, wastes, and other materials and heat throughout the internal environment. |
Homeostatic Function of the Endocrine System | Regulates homeostasis by secreting signaling hormones that travel through the internal environment to effector cells |
Homeostatic Function of the Muscular System | Powers and directs movement, Provides heat |
Homeostatic Functions of Integumentary System | Seperates internal environment from the external environment, Provides stability of internal fluid volume |
homeostasis | The relatively constant states maintained by the body |
internal environment | body cells survived in a healthy condition only when the temperature, pressure, and chemical composition of their fluid environment remained relatively constant. |
