1. RESPIRATORY SYSTEM AND
HOMEOSTASIS
MARIANA GARCIA CATALINA LAPEIRA NICOLE CABALLERO

2. WHAT IS HOMEOSTASIS?
the tendency towards a relatively stable
equilibrium between interdependent
elements, especially as maintained by
physiological processes.

3. HOW DOES THE
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
MAINTAIN HOMEOSTASIS?
In order to maintain homeostasis in the human body, oxygen
needs to be delivered all throughout it. This is done
through the diffusion of oxygen to the blood.
The only way that the oxygen can get to the blood is from the
use of the respiratory system. If the Respiratory system
didn't work, or didn't deliver oxygen to the body, the rest
of the systems would no longer function.

4. MAINTAINING BALANCE-
CELLS AND OXYGEN
Cells receive oxygen via
bloodstream. Oxygen reaches
the lungs and then it diffuses into
capillaries. There are many
capillaries and they are very thin
so so it slows down the process
allowing smaller amounts in at a
time. The blood is now
oxygenated carries throughout
the body delivering oxygen to all
cells that need it.

5. PLAYING SPORTS
AND MAINTAINING
HOMEOSTASIS
Why do we breathe harder when we play
sports? When we do this, our bodies have
a hard time getting oxygen we need.
When we are working hard, Lactic acids
builds up in our body. This acid can only
be gotten rid of by using oxygen to break
it down. When Lactic Acid is broken
down, Carbon Dioxide is created and
disposed through exhaling. Since more
Carbon Dioxide is leaving the body we
are forced to breathe harder. Our body
does this to help maintain homeostasis.
