SYSTEM FUNCTION ASSOCIATED ORGANS INTERACTION WITH THE NERVOUS SYSTEM Skeletal System
Show
Different types of muscles enable motion, generate heat to maintain body temperature, move food through digestive tract and contract the heart. Muscles (smooth, skeletal and cardiac muscles)
The lymphatic system protects the body from infection. Adenoid, tonsils, thymus, lymph nodes, spleen
The digestive system stores and digests foods, transfers nutrients to the body, eliminates waste and absorbs water. Stomach, esophagus, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, intestines
The urinary system eliminates waste products and maintains water balance and chemical balance. Bladder, urethra, kidney
The integumentary system reduces water loss, contains receptors that respond to touch, regulates body temperature, and protects the inside of the body from damage. Skin, hair
How does the cardiovascular system help the body maintain homeostasis?The cardiovascular system helps to maintain homeostasis with respect to body temperature. An increased heart rate increases the delivery of blood to your skin. Increased blood flow to your skin and sweating causes dissipation of heat, and body temperature remains within normal limits.
How does the cardiovascular system help the body maintain homeostasis osmosis and capillary action?Blood vessels such as arteries, veins, and capillaries can dilate and constrict to help the body maintain homeostasis. When sensors in the body detect an increase in core temperature, vessels dilate to allow more blood to pass through them which releases the excess heat.
What does homeostasis of the cardiovascular system mean?Homeostasis of hemodynamics refers to the regulation of the blood circulation to meet the demands of the different organ and tissue systems.
How the cardiovascular system helps the body eliminate carbon dioxide from the body?Blood that is low in oxygen collects in your heart's right atrium, one of the heart's 4 chambers. It moves into the right ventricle, which pumps this blood to your lungs where your red blood cells pick up oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. You exhale the carbon dioxide.
