Organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis from "summary" of Anatomy and Physiology by J. Gordon Betts,Peter DeSaix,Jody E. Johnson,Oksana Korol,Dean H. Kruse,Brandon Poe,James A. Wise,Mark Womble,Kelly A. Young
Homeostasis is the state of internal constancy that the body maintains through a range of control mechanisms. These mechanisms involve the coordination of various organ systems, each with specific functions that contribute to overall homeostasis. The body is made up of multiple organ systems that work together to ensure stability in the internal environment. For example, the nervous system plays a crucial role in monitoring changes in the external and internal environment. It then sends signals to other organ systems to initiate appropriate responses to maintain homeostasis. The endocrine system also helps regulate various body functions through the release of hormones that act on target organs to maintain balance. The cardiovascular system is responsible f...
