How do two body systems regulate homeostasis?
The nervous system controls virtually all body activities, and the endocrine system secretes hormones that regulate these activities. Functioning together, the organ systems supply body cells with all the substances they need and eliminate their wastes.
What two systems regulate the human body?
Humans have two types of communication systems. These are the nervous system and the endocrine (hormone) system. These systems regulate body processes through chemical and electrical signals that pass between cells. The pathways for this communication are different for each system.
Which two organ systems are responsible for regulating the other organ systems?
FIGURE 1.3 Organ Systems of the Body Of these systems, the nervous system and endocrine system are major regulatory systems that regulate the other organ systems. The function of the nervous system is to detect various sensations, to control movements, physiological processes, and intellectual functions.
What 2 organ systems are responsible for support and movement?
Organ Systems, The Whole Body, and Populations
| Table 2. Organ Systems | ||
|---|---|---|
| Organ system | Key Organ(s) | Primary function(s) |
| muscular | muscles, tendons | support; movement |
| skeletal | bones, cartilage | support; protection; movement; blood cell production |
| integumentary | skin | support; protection; regulation of fluid levels |
What two body systems play a role in maintaining blood sugar homeostasis?
The nervous and digestive systems also play a role in maintaining blood glucose levels.
Which two of the following organ systems function in coordination to control body functions and maintain homeostasis?
The nervous system and the endocrine system regulate and coordinate body functions by sharing in a unique partnership. Jointly they maintain growth, maturation, reproduction, metabolism and human behavior.
Which two organ systems exert the most regulating influence over other systems?
The nervous and endocrine systems exert the ultimate control over homeostasis because they coordinate the functions of the body’s systems.
