Question

How does the cardiovascular system help the body maintain homeostasis?

Answer 1

Answer:

(C). thermoregulation and hormone transport.

Explanation:

Homeostasis can be defined as a steady state of internal body conditions maintained by living organisms.Cardiovascular system helps the body to maintain homeostasis through thermoregulation and transport of hormones.

Thermoregulation involves regulation of internal body temperature. Cardiovascular system works to transport nutrients, oxygen, and hormones to various tissues and organs through blood.

It helps in heat exchange between internal organs, skin or tissues to maintain internal body temperature. All endocrine glands secrete hormones directly to the blood stream, from where the hormones are transported to different tissues and organs and show their response.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Answer 2

The right answer is C. thermoregulation and hormone transport.

The cardiovascular system has the function of distributing the blood to the organs.

Blood is a red and slightly viscous liquid that circulates in the blood vessels, propelled by the heart, is essential to the maintenance of life. It transports nutrients, oxygen and hormones to the cells of the body, and rids them of their waste.

Blood circulation helps control body temperature and regulates the volume of certain liquids in the tissues. In addition, the blood carries white blood cells, which defend our body against germs.
