1. Gas Exchange... carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, as well as carrying carbon dioxide from the body back to the lungs.

2. Pathway for transportation.... Carries hormones from the endocrine system so that they can act on their target cells. Carries nutrients to the cells of the body. Carries waste away from the cells of the body to be filtered by the liver and/or kidney.

What are some ways that the body maintaion homeostasis?

Homeostasis is where the body tries to keep its internal conditions constant. Some of the ways it does this are: sweating which then evaporates and cools down the skin; vasoconstriction, where blood vessels connected to skin capillaries constrict to reduce the amount of blood going to the skin, this reduces the amount of heat lost by radiation from the skin. The body also dilates blood vessels that are connected to skin capillaries in order to increase the amount of heat lost through radiation from the skin. Shivering also maintains core body temperature; when you get too cold your body shivers (contracts and retracts muscles) this causes cellular respiration which releases heat.


What transports oxygen to cells in body?

ways of transporting oxygen (presumably in the human body you are referring to) it is carried in the blood as part of the circulatory system-it is picked up from the lungs through alveoli -majorly carried in the blood as oxyhaemoglobin (oxygen combined with haemoglobin in red blood cells) -some can be dissolved in the blood plasma


How does the body compensate for metabolic acidosis?

Besides ridding the body of wastes formed during cell metabolism the kidney adjusts blood chemistry in other ways .What are these three other ways?

The kidney regulates blood pressure by adjusting the volume of blood and levels of sodium and water in the body. It also helps maintain the balance of electrolytes and pH levels in the blood by filtering and excreting excess ions and acids. Finally, the kidney produces hormones like erythropoietin and renin that help regulate blood cell production and blood pressure, respectively.
