ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Together with the endocrine system, the nervous system is responsible for regulating and maintaining homeostasis. Through its receptors, the nervous system keeps us in touch with our environment, both external and internal.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nervous system maintains homeostasis by controlling and regulating the other parts of the body. A deviation from a normal set point acts as a stimulus to a receptor, which sends nerve impulses to a regulating center in the brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Homeostatic Process A change in the internal or external environment is called a stimulus and is detected by a receptor; the response of the system is to adjust the deviation parameter toward the set point. For instance, if the body becomes too warm, adjustments are made to cool the animal.

Detailed explanation-4: -The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls cardiac and smooth muscle, as well as glandular tissue, to maintain homeostasis when the body is at rest or in an emergency.. It is associated with unconscious responses to regulate heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, sweating and digestion.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your endocrine system responds by initiating an internal feedback mechanism. In this case, negative feedback counteracts the increase in body temperature and the body begins to sweat more so that you can cool down to normal body temperature.
