Homeostasis

What Is Homeostasis?
You may be asking yourself the question, "What is Homeostasis?". Well look no further! Homeostasis is the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes.
The Digestive System.
The digestive system begins with the mouth and extends through the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, ending with the rectum and anus.
Some Interesting Body Systems
The Skeletal System
The Skeletal System is crucial to the human body. Without the Skeletal System, we would be a living blob... yes, a blob. The Skeletal System supports our body to move. No Skeletal System, no walking, talking, and no running.
The Skeletal System goes hand and hand with the muscular system
The Digestive System
The Digestive System is... well let me just explain it. The food first goes to the mouth, then the esophagus, continued to the liver, stomach, gallbladder, small intestine, large intestine, and then finally, the anus. So, without the Digestive System, we would not be able to consume any energy and nutrients. No energy or nutrients, no support for the body. Therefore, you would die. So, the Digestive system is quite imperative to the body.
The Digestive System goes hand and hand with the Respiratory System.
The Muscular System
The Muscular System is super important. Without the Muscular System, our bodies would practically be a glass of jelly! Our Muscular System supports the body to have form and movement. No Muscular System, no body.
The Muscular System goes hand and hand with the Skeletal System.
Fun Facts!
- Some things that Homeostasis controls is our body's level is carbon dioxide, sugar, water, temperature,
- An easy way to remember what Homeostasis controls is...
- When (Water)
- Shall (Sugar)
- I (Ions)
- Clean (CO2)
- The (Temperature)
- Utensils (Urea)
- Individual cells, as well as organisms, must maintain homeostasis in order to live too. One way that a cell maintains homeostasis is by controlling the movement of substances across the cell membrane.
