Answer:

C. Homeostasis

Explanation:

"Homeostasis" refers to the process of maintaining the body's equilibrium. The body tries to adjust to different stimuli in order to help it function in normal ranges. For example, when a person is exposed to a cold weather all of a sudden,<em> the person starts to shiver in order to maintain homeostasis</em>. <em>Shivering</em> is a contraction of the muscles that <em><u>allows the generation of heat</u></em>.

On the contrary, when a person is exposed to the sun during summer,<em> his body will start to sweat in order to maintain homeostasis</em>. <em>Sweating</em> allows the heat to dissipate from the body thereby lowering the body's temperature.

Ratling [72]
The sense organs that are located on the head and in the mouth of a fetal pig are the Ears, mouth, eyes, nose, and tongue. The pig, just like humans, experiences sound, sight, taste, smell, heat, cold, pain and also balance. The way it responds to these assists humans in the recognition of health and diseases.

When plasma is transfused into a person, why is blood type not a concern?
Dvinal [7]
Blood type is not a concern when transfusing plasma from person to person because the plasma does not contain red blood cells. when things such as organs or blood are given to people (contain red blood cells), they must match the blood type of the person receiving these things so that there is a smaller chance of the person rejecting the organs, blood, etc. due to plasma not having red blood cells, we do not need to worry about the body rejecting it.
