Homeostasis what does it mean and how does it apply to the integumentary system

Health

melomori [17]3 years ago

Homeostasis is keeping the body in an acceptable range to allow for maximum body function. The Integumentary system is a huge part of keeping the body within homeostasis. It provides protection from the elements, keeps our insides warm. When it's cold, we get "goosebumps" because the body is trying to get warmer by raising the hairs on our body for extra protection from it being cold. In the heat, we sweat to keep our body cooled off. It keeps us from touching things that are too hot/too cold or things that hurt us. It absorbs nutrients from the sun to keep our body functioning with the proper nutrients that it can accept from the sun.

No because it would look like ww to ww. So if you took a w from each parent the offspring would be ww/ have black wool. Say one parent had white wool that the offspring would be Ww so it is more likely to have white wool. Hope this helps
