Question

The digestive, circulatory, respiratory, immune, and excretory systems all work together to maintain homeostasis. Discuss how a minor malfunction in one of these systems could lead to major malfunctions in others. If methods were developed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of one system, what effect might that improvement have on the other systems?
HEEEELLLPP!!

Answer 1

this is like asking someone to list the various chemical reactions that occur in the body. there are so many...
from evolution, these systems have become dependent upon each other. if the pH in the blood goes off, enzymes for digestion may lose their ability to digest foods. when glycolysis gets messed up in the liver, the digestive system gets messed up due to the overproduction or underproduction of glucose leading to the pancrease altering its output of insulin. this could result in diabetes which affects the blood and excretory system. people with diabetes have a hard time with wound healing which is the immune system.

there are viruses that can attack one of the systems leading to systematic shut down.
breathing in a gas other than air could lead to suffocation or death by a gas embolism going to the heart and messing with the heart beat or going to the brain and causing an infarct there resulting in stroke. when the brain is damaged, depending upon the part of the brain damaged, this will have an effect on the entire body. etc., etc.

Answer 2

^ Basically what she said. All our body systems rely heavily on each other and once one of them malfunctions or whatever, that could lead to other problems within the body...Our body is perfectly balanced, I'm sure that even if it were an improvement, there would be negative consequences.
