Nervous System
Function of System:
The Nervous System allows us to sense and respond to the world around us. Our responses sometimes come out in the form of impulsive reactions to activity outside our body.
How it aids in homeostasis:
The Nervous System maintains homeostasis by sending nerve impulses through out the body to keep the flow of blood going as well as undisturbed. These nerve impulses can be sent so quickly throughout the body which helps keep the body safe from any potential threat.
