Maintaining Homeostasis

Homeostasis is the way your body regulates itself to keep things constant throughout different throughout different changing variables.

How the Skeletal System Helps with Homeostasis

The skeletal system helps maintain homeostasis. In some of your bones, there is bone marrow. Bone marrow creates red blood cells as the old red blood cells die off. Red cells are very important to the human body, because they carry oxygen to the body's tissue, and they also carry carbon dioxide out to the lungs where it is eliminated.

How Skeletal System Works Together

First, The skeletal system works together with the muscular system. Skeletal muscles pull on bones. This enables bone movement. This is used in many everyday actions, including sitting, standing, running, or walking

The skeletal system also works with the circulatory system. They work together because bones contain marrow, and marrow creates blood cells. Blood cells carry oxygen, water, minerals, nutrients, and proteins throughout the body. Lastly, the skeletal system also works with the nervous system. Long bones store fat that can be used to send and receive electrical currents throughout the body.
