The body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes.

Breaks down food into absorbable molecules for energy and nutrients.

Removes metabolic waste to maintain blood and tissue balance.

Facilitates gas exchange for energy production, taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.

Regulates body processes using hormones.

Coordinates and regulates body processes to maintain homeostasis.

Part of the digestive system that absorbs nutrients using villi.

"Master gland" that controls other glands.

Filters blood, excretes waste, and regulates water balance.

Impaired insulin production or response.

Specialized nerve cell that transmits impulses.

Slow metabolism.

Maintain stable body conditions.

A hormone produced by the pancreas that lowers blood sugar levels by helping glucose enter cells for energy.

A hormone produced by the pancreas that raises blood sugar levels by breaking down stored glycogen in the liver into glucose.

Thyroid hormone (thyroxin) regulates metabolism, controlling the rate at which your body uses energy.

Released by the adrenal glands, adrenaline prepares the body for 'fight or flight' by increasing heart rate, breathing, and energy.

Hormones produced by the ovaries (estrogen) and testes (testosterone) that influence sexual development and function.

Digestion breaks down food into molecules that cells can absorb for energy and nutrients, which are vital for maintaining a stable internal environment.

The liver produces bile, a fluid that helps emulsify fats, making them easier to digest and absorb in the small intestine.

The excretory system removes metabolic waste products from the body, preventing their build-up and maintaining the balance of blood and tissue fluids.

Breathing rate increases during physical activity to deliver more oxygen to the muscles and eliminate excess carbon dioxide, supporting energy production and maintaining pH balance.

The nervous system coordinates and regulates bodily processes to maintain a stable internal environment, responding to changes and adjusting functions accordingly.

Reflex arcs provide rapid, automatic responses to stimuli without involving the brain, helping the body react quickly to protect itself or maintain balance.

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals between neurons at synapses, allowing for communication and coordination throughout the nervous system.

The nervous system coordinates the activities of other systems, adjusting their functions based on internal and external cues to maintain a stable internal environment.
