Homeostasis
How does it effect other systems?
Homeostasis and the Digestive System
Homeostasis is maintaining a normal body temperature. If your body temperature is below or above 98.6 degrees fahrenheit, then you may have a fever or have hypothermia. It is also regulating how much of everything goes into or stays in your body. In order for your digestive track to maintain a normal balance of acid, glucose, and pH, homeostasis occurs and balances all acids and enzymes in the mouth, liver, and small intestine.
Circulatory
The circulatory system consists of the heart and blood vessels. It’s function is to transport nutrients, blood, and oxygen to the body. Blood vessels are apart of muscles and contain muscle tissue. Blood cells take the oxygen from the lungs in the respiratory system and distributes it to other cells.
Muscular
The muscular system consists of muscles and tendons. This system enables your body to move. As expressed in the column next to this, it also contains blood vessels from the circulatory system. It assists in the process of breathing by expanding and contracting the diaphragm and lungs.
Respiratory
The respiratory system only has one organ: the lungs. Inside the lungs, there are bronchi, alveoli, and trachea. Air goes through the trachea, to the bronchi, and is stored in the alveoli. In this system, you breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. As described in the other columns, there are muscles in the lungs and diaphragm that enable them to move. Blood cells carry oxygen from this system and brings it to the body and cells.
The Wrong Foods
Junk food is very tempting; It looks and tastes so good! You can't stay away from it, but you should know, it is all bad for you. There are a lot of sugar and fats in these foods, and you don't want to consume too much of them. When too much sugar is consumed, your body runs low on insulin and you could suffer from diabetes. When you eat too much fat, your arteries can get clogged and a heart attack can happen. Eating bad foods can even make you depressed because it changes around your hormones.
