Question

Homeostasis depends on the activity of body systems to adjust a variable. Because our bodies work so well to maintain variables at set point, we often do not even notice the systems they use to do it. But in someone who is ill, these systems may not be able to maintain homeostasis; you need to be aware of this to head off possible problems. Which of the following can directly impact fluid balance?

Select all that apply.
__Reproductive system
__Respiratory system
__hearing
__urinary system
__sweat glands
__throat muscles
__muscles

Answer 1

The correct answer is-

Respiratory system, urinary system, sweat glands, throat muscles.

Explanation:

Fluid balance is a process of homeostasis that takes palace place in the body of the individual by regulating water concentration through behavior and osmoregulation.

The respiratory system helps fluid balancing by the process of the thoracentesis which helps in removing excess fluid from the lungs. In the urinary system, kidneys help in maintain water concentration and salt concentration by osmoregulation. sweat glands help in secretion of the sweat from pores present in the skin.

Thus, the correct answer is - Respiratory system, urinary system, sweat glands, throat muscles.
