how does the respiration system help maintain homeostasis in the body?

Respiration removes carbon dioxide which, when in the body, forms carbonic acid in the blood. Too much carbonic acid and you will suffer from acidosis. In addition to keeping the blood at the correct pH, respiration supplies oxygen to the blood and tissues, such as muscle so that they too, can function correctly.\nSo, homeostasis is when all systems and fluids and tissues are "balanced", or in their correct working state. By removing carbon dioxide, respiration helps to keep the blood (and the body) in homeostasis.

your lil lungs keep you breathing, right.\nas you gain weight, you put pressure on them, making it harder for them to expand and help pump blood to the heart. ruining everything in your body basicslly

im studying the digestive system right now, so i'll have a go at this question (u may want to chec accuracy).\nthe cell gets the carbon it needs via the blood supply. when we eat, all the nutrients are broken down and molecules such as hydrogen, oxygen and carbon are filtered into the blood stream so that they can be passed on to all the cells in th body.\n\ndoes that help?

The lymphatic system is involved with immunological protection for all systems of the body, thus helping all systems to stay in homeostasis:\n\n1. In general: immune cells protect the entire body from attack by pathogens, foreign cells, cancer, etc\n2. excess interstitial fluid and leaked plasma proteins taken from skin too.  Even antibodies found in sweat.\n3. lymph drains excess int. fluid from connective tissue around bone\n4. lymph drains excess int fluid from muscles\n5. lymph can help distribue hormones and drain excess int fluid from endocrin glands\n6. lymph returns excess fluid from capillaries to venopus blood; macrophages destroy old rbcs and remove debris in blood\n7. tonsils, macrophages protect lungs from pathogens; lymph drains excess int fluid from lungs\n8. tonsils and macrophages also protect GI tract from invading pathogens; antibodies in saliva and GI secretions; lacteals in villi absorb dietary lipids and transport them to blood. lymph drains excess int fluid from GI organs\n9. lymph drains excess int fluid from urinary organs; defends agains toxins and pathogins that penetrate urinary tract via urethra\n10. drain excess int fluid from reprod organs; defense against toxins, pathogens entering vagina or penis; antibodies cancross the placenta to provide immuneprotection to developing fetus; antibodies also in colostrum of early milk fed to infant in breastfeeding

the brain is the largest consumer of oxygen in our body, though it is one of the smallest organs .......brain requires lot of oxygen every minute and the availability of oxygen therefore infleuences the working of brain\n\nwhen we retain our breath, level of oxygen entering our body is minimised.....As a result, the brain doent get sufficient oxygen and the thinking process slows down

this may not be the answer you are looking for... but here it is anyway...\n\nthe respiratory system involves providing oxygen for the body. You inhale air which is made of different gases and your lungs absorb oxygen out of the air and you exhale the stuff that isn't absorbed. Oxygen is needed for burning fuel. Every single cell (trillions of them) need this oxygen you just inhaled. How does it get to every single blood vessel? you guessed it! the Circulatory system \n\n... the oxygen rich blood goes to the heart. .. and with every beat gets pumped out in all different directions all over the place and then once the oxygen has been delivered, the spent blood comes back for a refill... this happens many many times per minute. \n\nnow, all this blood would go nowhere without a heart. What is a heart essentially? a big strong muscle that goes and goes and goes for 80 years or more without ever stopping! in addition to this, every move you make, helps blood flow. especially walking, your feet act like mini pumps cuz you step on one foot the blood gets pushed around and then you step on the otehr foot as you walk and it goes on. \n\nAnd of course the nervous system. This has instructions directly form mission control ... your brain. It controls your heart speed, breathing speed, blood flow to different parts of the body depending on which part needs how much at what time and everything. None of these systems could normally work without the other one ... but if your nervous system goes down, your pretty much a vegetable. \n\nI know I just explained what all these different systems do but hopefully it helps you understand better.

haha the answer above me is funny...what what exactly do you want to know about it? theres a lot to do with respiration...theres inspiration where the air is taken in..this is caused by a contraction of the diaphragm..thens there structures like the epiglotis, trachea, pharynx...then the oxygen goes to your lungs..where gas exchange occurs in the alveoli's...this is done by some complicated process that i dont understand really..i didnt really pay attention during this part of physiology/biology class. haha. anyway, the oxygen is picked up by the pulmonary artery and goes to the rest of the body through the aorta...uhh, i can think of anything else..hope this helps!

Breathing, the process whereby an organism (living thing) obtains oxygen from its surroundings, to take part in internal chemical reactions which break down food to release energy. Breathing also usually gives out waste carbon dioxide as an unwanted by-product of these reactions. Breathing is one aspect of respiration, which is a term that includes both physically obtaining oxygen, and also using it in chemical pathways inside cells to release energy—the process of cellular respiration\n\nMany aquatic animals obtain oxygen dissolved in the water by muscle-powered movements, such as when the forward motion of a fish or the pumping actions of its mouth and throat force a flow of water over its gills ( See also Fish). This is underwater breathing. Tiny organisms “breathe” by the process of passive seepage or diffusion of oxygen through their body surfaces. Plants also obtain oxygen by diffusion from the air or water around them, usually into the leaves.

Homeostasis is the property of an open system, especially living organisms, to regulate its internal environment to maintain a stable, constant condition, by means of multiple dynamic equilibrium adjustments, controlled by interrelated regulation mechanisms. The term was coined in 1932 by Walter Cannon from the Greek homo (same, like) and stasis (to stand, posture).\n\nOverview\nThe term is most often used in the sense of biological homeostasis. Multicellular organisms require a homeostatic internal environment, in order to live; many environmentalists believe this principle also applies to the external environment. Many ecological, biological, and social systems are homeostatic. They oppose change to maintain equilibrium. If the system does not succeed in reestablishing its balance, it may ultimately lead the system to stop functioning.\n\nComplex systems, such as a human body, must have homeostasis to maintain stability and to survive. These systems do not only have to endure to survive; they must adapt themselves and evolve to modifications of the environment.\n\n[edit]\nProperties of homeostasis\nHomeostatic systems show several properties:\n\nThey are ultrastable: the system is capable of testing which way its variables should be adjusted. \nTheir whole organization (internal, structural, and functional) contributes to the maintenance of equilibrium. \nThey are unpredictable: the resulting effect of a precise action often has the opposite effect to what was expected. \nMain examples of homeostasis in mammals are as follows:\n\nThe regulation of the amounts of water and minerals in the body. This is known as osmoregulation. This happens in the kidneys. \nThe removal of metabolic waste. This is known as excretion. This is done by the excretory organs such as the kidneys and lungs. \nThe regulation of body temperature. This is mainly done by the skin. \nThe regulation of blood glucose level. This is mainly done by the liver and the insulin secreted by the pancreas. \nIt is important to note that while organisms exhibit equilibrium, their physiological state is not necessarily static. Many organisms exhibit endogenous fluctuations in the form of circadian (period 20 to 28 hours), ultradian (period <20 hours) and infradian (period > 28 hours) rhythms. Thus even in homeostasis, body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and most metabolic indicators are not always at a constant level, but vary predictably over time.\n\n[edit]\nMechanisms of homeostasis: feedback\nMain article: Feedback\n\nWhen a change of variable occurs, there are two main types of feedback to which the system reacts:\n\nNegative feedback is a reaction in which the system responds in such a way as to reverse the direction of change. Since this tends to keep things constant, it allows the maintenance of homeostasis. For instance, when the concentration of carbon dioxide in the human body increases, the lungs are signaled to increase their activity and expel more carbon dioxide. Thermoregulation is another example of negative feedback. When body temperature rises (or falls), receptors in the skin and the hypothalamus sense a change, triggering a command from the brain. This command, in turn, effects the correct response, in this case a decrease in body temperature. \nIn positive feedback, the response is to amplify the change in the variable. This has a destabilizing effect, so does not result in homeostasis. Positive feedback is less common in naturally occurring systems than negative feedback, but it has its applications. For example, in nerves, a threshold electric potential triggers the generation of a much larger action potential. (See also leverage points.) Blood clotting and events in childbirth are other types of positive feedback. \nSustainable systems require combinations of both kinds of feedback. Generally with the recognition of divergence from the homeostatic condition positive feedbacks are called into play, whereas once the homeostatic co

The ph has a huge effect on the Respiratory system.\nYour body will try to compensate to keep your ph between 7.35-7.45 at all times.\nCo2 is acid\nHCO3 (bicarb) is a buffer\nand they will be adjusted to regulate the ph\nThe way the respiratory system is involved is with the co2\n\nwhen a patient ie... diabetic ketoacidosis has a bicarb of 5, ur body is extremly aciddic... so the respiratory rate will increase and u will have kussmal respirations, fast and hard.... ur body is trying to blow off co2, to make the body more alkolitic.. and raise the ph from the lowered hco3...\n\nnext when a patient is retaining co2, and the ph goes way down, the hco3 goes up to try to bugger the acidic effect of the co2, ur body will breathe slower... and this is a respiratory failure...

The endocrine system produces hormones and works with the circulatory system - that carries them. The nervous system works with the respiratory system and every other system in the body; such as the gastrointestinal system and reproductive systems.

When we breathe in, we take in O2 which is distributed to all around our body via the red blood cells. Every cell needs O2 to survive, therefore without the respiratory system, cells would not receive O2 and therefore would die. O2 is also used in many other metabolic pathways in the human body, and so without it we would die.
