What are the organs that constitute each of the organ-systems above?

Recurring conception is what the human body is all about. Reservoir of parts inside the body are grouped together into body systems to render a common purpose; all of which are indispensable in growth, reproduction, and survival. The eleven body systems that make such elements feasible are the following:

 

Integumentary System

  • Skin

  • Hair

  • Nails

  • Exocrine glands

 

Skeletal System

  • Bones 

  • Cartilage

  • Ligaments

  • Tendons

  • Skeletal muscle

  • Smooth muscle

  • Cardiac muscle

 

Nervous System

  • Brain

  • Spinal cord

  • Nerves

 

Endocrine System

  • Hypothalamus

  • Pineal body

  • Pituitary gland

  • Thyroid and Parathyroid Gland

  • Thymus

Respiratory System

  • Lungs

  • Nose

  • Mouth

Which organ systems function to regulate acid-base balance in body fluid?

 

Independence of organs inside the body could lead to impaired intricacies that are adept to accentuate fatality. Hence, excessive collaboration magnifies power to the attainment of homeostasis with the incessant flow of interactions convened inside the body’s internal environment, especially in the regulation of acid-base balance in body fluids. It is what bolsters the responsiveness of the body to internal stimulation and any changes within the depths of its anatomy.

 

Premised on the regulation of acid-base balance in body fluids, there are three body systems that reign supreme in providing a comforting prospect to the body’s primary business namely: Cardiovascular System, Respiratory System, and the Urinary System. Mulling over on the first body system mentioned, carbon dioxide is exiled by the blood to the lungs, where it is exhaled. Performance of such action devitalizes the pH level of the blood to drop as carbon dioxide levels rise. Thus, acidity increases. Comparatively, as for the Respiratory System, its tract can elevate the blood's pH in a short amount of time  by exhaling carbon dioxide from the body. At long last, the Urinary System’s subscription to the regulation of acid-base balance in body fluids are its kidneys. Kidneys contribute to the regulation of acid-base through the elimination of hydrogen ions and production of bicarbonate, which helps keep the pH of blood plasma within a normal range. Wherein, cells are the main sites protein buffer systems mostly function.
