Answer:

The Aplysia withdrawing it's gills is demonstrating a gill and siphon withdrawal reflex (GSWR) phenomenon

Explanation:

The hill and siphon withdrawal reflex (GSWR) is involuntary and a defensive reflex. This reflex causes delicate siphon and gill to be retracted when an animal is disturbed.

A two-component reflex is triggered when weak or moderate stimulus is applied to a siphon or the mantle shelf. These two components consist of two reflex acts, the siphon-withdrawal reflex and the gill-withdrawal reflex. Together they often form a reflex pattern with short latency that protects the animals gill and siphon to potentially threatening stimuli.

An habituation in an Aplysia californica for example is which is an Aplysia gills is when a stimulus is presented continously to an animal and there is a progressive decrease in response to that particular stimulus.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

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.
