Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Controlling blood pressure; regulate blood flow and temperature; “fight or flight” reaction, Regulate blood flow during exercise; blood clotting to prevent blood loss and disease

A	how the circulatory system maintains homeostasis
B	the functions of the respiratory system
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Homeostasis: Homeostasis is defined as the condition of constancy of the “internal environment” in terms of its cells, tissues, and organs. Thus in blood pressure regulation, homeostasis will tend to stabilize the blood pressure, maintaining it at a steady resting state.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many factors can affect blood pressure, such as hormones, stress, exercise, eating, sitting, and standing. Blood flow through the body is regulated by the size of blood vessels, by the action of smooth muscle, by one-way valves, and by the fluid pressure of the blood itself.

Detailed explanation-3: -The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is central to the control of blood pressure and fluid–electrolyte homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The kidney is the main organ involved in controlling blood pressure. Blood pressure can be described as the resistance of the blood vessels acting against the blood flow generated by a heartbeat. The kidneys are able to regulate blood pressure through two main actions.
