MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood helps maintain homeostasis by stabilizing pH, temperature, osmotic pressure, and by eliminating excess heat. Blood supports growth by distributing nutrients and hormones, and by removing waste. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which binds oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Red blood cells are able to maintain homeostasis through a variety of methods. Because their main job is to transport oxygen, they survive the small vessels of the circulatory system by having a flexible membrane as well as particular shape that allows it to fit through the tiny capillaries.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Blood Vessels Blood vessels such as arteries, veins, and capillaries can dilate and constrict to help the body maintain homeostasis. When sensors in the body detect an increase in core temperature, vessels dilate to allow more blood to pass through them which releases the excess heat.

Detailed explanation-4: -White blood cells help maintain homeostasis because they protect the body from pathogens. White blood cells are the cells of our immune system. They locate pathogens in the body, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites and kill them.
