Answer:
response to stimuli / tropism
Explanation:
The plants and animals always respond to stimuli. It is an innate character of all living things. When a bright light falls on the eye, it closes immediately. This is responding to the stimuli. When someone touches the leaves of touch-me-not plants it closes its leaves due to the external stimuli.
The plants respond to the light. Because it does photosynthesis in the presence of light. Therefore, the leaves and branches of the plants always bend towards the light. This process is called phototropism.
Similarly, the roots of the plants move towards gravity under the ground. This is called geotropism.
Besides phototropism and geotropism, other types of stimuli are there - hydrotropism(response to the water), chemotropism(response to certain chemicals).
That's why the plants growing on the windowsill move towards outside where light comes.
Heart disease affects the cardiovascular system by plaque building up on the artery walls narrowing them making it harder for blood to flow through which could lead to heart attack or probably stroke if the plaque blocks it entirely or maybe almost entirely.
Heart disease may also affect our nervous system for there is higher risk to stroke and it is due to limited flow of blood to the brain and may lead to heart failure which may happen with heart disease that puts the stress on the brain and nerves.
The digestive system is affected by heart disease that causes the system to not get the right amount of oxygen and the nutrients that it needs from the blood.
