Homeostatis of Organ Systems

The organ systems in the human body are intricately in homeostasis with each other that one cannot survive without the existence of the other. Each and every organ we have are important and serves its specific function. Some of the organ system functions are: the pulmonary system is composed of the lungs and functions to oxygenate the blood and release metabolic byproduct carbon dioxide; the hepatobiliary system is composed of the liver and the spleen and functions in carbohydrate, protein, and cholesterol metabolism not to mention its other function to filter and metabolize all toxins converting them to non-harmful substances; the renal system is composed of the kidneys and functions to eliminate the metabolized ammonia in the form of urea thereafter excreted into the urine; the digestive system is composed of organs running from the mouth to the anus and it functions to digest food and absorb nutrients thereafter excrete fecal waste material; the reproductive system is composed of external and internal genitalia and functions for mating and sexual reproduction; and the central nervous system is composed of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves function to centrally control and moderate the functions of all the organ systems. These organ systems individually functions in tandem and contribute to create a homeostasis.
