1. In your own words, explain the role of the digestive, endocrine, and excretory systems in maintaining homeostasis.
2. When there is an imbalance in a body system, and the body cannot maintain homeostasis, how might other systems respond?
3. Give an example of two other body systems that work together, and explain how they support each other.

1) The function of the digestive system is digestion and absorption. Digestion is the breakdown of food into small molecules, which are then absorbed into the body. The digestive system is divided into two major parts: The digestive tract (alimentary canal) is a continuous tube with two openings: the mouth and the anus, The endocrine system is the collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood, among other things.  Excretion is the process of removing wastes and excess water from the body. It is one of the major ways the body maintains homeostasis. Organs of excretion make up the excretory system. ... The kidneys maintain homeostasis by controlling the amount of water, ions, and other substances in the blood

2) When the cells in your body do not work correctly, homeostatic balance is disrupted. Homeostatic imbalance may lead to a state of disease. Disease and cellular malfunction can be caused in two basic ways: by deficiency (cells not getting all they need) or toxicity (cells being poisoned by things they do not need).

3)   cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The cardiovascular system includes your heart and blood vessels, which function to remove deoxygenated blood from and return oxygenated blood throughout your body.

Hope This helps!!!

it also supports my hypothesis. if you rest first you can squeeze the clothespin more times. from the data i collected the average of the eight people concluded exercise makes your muscles more fatigued and less able to squeeze the clothespin compared to resting before squeezing.

answer: substrate concentration. enzymes work best when there is a high enough substrate concentration for the reaction they catalyse.
