Your skin starts going through some changes after 24 hours <span>Nature is very efficient at breaking down human corpses. When you die your heart stops pumping blood around your body, thus depriving your cells of oxygen, which rapidly begin to die. Decomposing starts almost immediately, with the skin going through several changes in colour as the blood stops circulating leaving the body an ashen color. However different cells die at different rates. For example, brain cells die within a few minutes, whilst skin cells can survive over 24 hours after death. Soon after death rigor mortis occurs, which is caused by a complex chemical reaction (involving lactic acid and myosin), which forms a gel like substance which creates the body's stiffness. Rigor mortis lasts approximately 24 hours (depending upon ambient temperature). </span>

Read the incomplete list of steps below, which shows how the excretory system maintains homeostasis.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Water and glucose are returned to the blood

Explanation:

There are air filters to purify the air and water filters to clean the water. Well, the kidneys are like a filtering system, too. They contain nephrons, which filter waste from the blood in two stages. First, nephrons take waste as well as needed materials out of blood. Then, the materials the body needs (like water and glucose) are returned to the blood and wastes are eliminated from the body. This is one way the kidneys maintain homeostasis. The kidneys also regulate the amount of water in the body. The amount of water the kidneys return to the blood depends on the conditions inside and outside of the body. This is another way the excretory system maintains homeostasis. For example, you will make more urine on a cool day when you have drunk a lot of water than you will on a hot day when you've hardly had anything to drink.
