Body Systems and Homeostasis 1 -the body consists of 11 different systems -the nervous system -the endocrine system -the digestive system -the immune system -the respiratory system -the skeletal system -the muscular system -the cardiovascular system -the integumentary system -the reproductive system -the excretory/urinary system

Body Systems and Homeostasis 1 -there are 5 levels of hierarchy when it comes to a system: 1. cells 2. tissue 3. organs 4. organ systems 5. organisms -many organ systems are responsible for maintaining homeostasis in the body

Body Systems and Homeostasis 1 -homeostasis can be broken down into two parts: “homeo-” or “homo-” means “same” “stasis” means “state” -homeostasis in the body is the process of maintaining a steady balance or a normal range ex: -making sure you get the right amount of oxygen and nutrients -removing waste materials -shivering when cold, sweating when hot

Body Systems and Homeostasis 1 Homeostasis Involving Several Systems -the circulatory system is an important part of maintaining homeostasis in the body -the circulatory system takes in nutrients (from the digestive system) and oxygen (from the respiratory system) and delivers it to the rest of the body

Body Systems and Homeostasis 1 Gas Exchange in the Lungs -In the lungs, oxygen is transferred into the blood stream via alveoli and delivered to cells via the circulatory system for cellular respiration -At cells, carbon dioxide is exchanged and brought to the lungs to be expelled

Homeostasis Develop an analogy for homeostasis. It can be anything, as long as it relates to homeostasis. You can draw a picture, write a story, create an advertisement…anything you can think of. Just make sure to explain how your analogy fits with homeostasis. Remember, homeostasis is the process of keeping things the same within the body. Your analogy should represent a similar idea.
