Definition Exam Latest Version.
1. homeostasis - Dfn: ✔✔ organisms ability to maintain steady internal
conditions while the outside conditions changes
2. skeletal system - Dfn: ✔✔ the skeletal system maintains
homeostasis by supplying calcium and working with the muscular
system to move away from unpleasant stimuli.
3. muscular system - Dfn: ✔✔ the muscular system helps to maintain
homeostasis by contracting to turn chemical energy into thermal
energy if the body is cold, it also helps to maintain homeostasis by
contracting more or less often so oxygen can get to all cells from the
heart.
4. ingumentary system - Dfn: ✔✔ the ingumentary system/skin helps
to maintain homeostasis because it produces vitamin d, protects the
body from the outside, and it helps to cool the body when it is
overheated.
5. digestive system - Dfn: ✔✔ the digestive system helps maintain
homeostasis by making sure the body has enough nutrients and gets
rid of waste.
