Answer: By Hormonal action and Nervous coordination

Explanation:

Hormones are substances produced by one tissue and conveyed by the bloodstream to another to effect physiological activity. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment in the body.

Body systems such as digestive, circulatory, excretory systems etc, all are coordinated to achieve a STABLE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT by the aid of HORMONES AND/OR NERVOUS COORDINATION.

For Example: the vasodilation of blood vessels during hot weather, and the opposite action of vasoconstriction during cold weather are both controlled by Hormonal action and nervous coordination which leads to a stable body temperature preventing excess heat accumulation.

Also, Nervous system controls the body systems, such that the muscle contractions are joined to actions like sweating, breathing, respiration etc

So, to maintain homeostasis hormonal action and Nervous coordination is necessary.

Give the definition of parasympathetic nervous system?

SashulF [63]

Answer: Autonomic nervous system is made up of 3 divisions; Sympathetic nervous system, parasympathetic nervous system and sympathetic division. All these divisions are involuntary actions where parasympathetic is ultimately responsible for the "rest and digest" part of it. When the body is at rest the parasympathetic nervous system inhibits or lowers high energy requiring bodily functions.

This nervous system will lower any fight or flight response actions such as the release of epinephrine into the blood and enable digestion, urination and defeacation. When engaged in digestion you feel relaxed and at rest, this is solely due to the parasympathetic nevous system.
