    Urinary System

    • Removes waste product via urine.
    • Regulates blood: water, electrolytes, acid-base balance.

    Maintaining Life

    • Eight Functions: Maintaining boundaries (inside distinct from outside), movement (locomotion, fluid transport), responsiveness (ability to sense changes and reply), digestion (breakdown of food), metabolism (all chemical reactions), excretion (waste removal), reproduction (of offspring), growth (cell and body increase).

    Maintaining Homeostasis

    • Body communicates through neuronal & hormonal systems. Receptors detect changes (stimuli); those changes relayed to the control center. Control centers determine acceptable levels & correct any deviations. Effectors (muscles/glands) take corrective actions based on the control center's instructions.
