Answers:
The kidneys, which maintain the purity and constancy of our internal fluids, are perfect examples of homeostatic organs!. Much like sanitation workers who keep a city's water supply drinkable and dispose of its waste, the kidneys are usually unappreciated until there is a malfunction and "internal garbage" piles up!. Every day, the kidneys filter gallons of fluid from the bloodstream!. They then process this filtrate, allowing wastes and excess ions to leave the body in urine while returning needed substances to the blood in just the right proportions!. Although the lungs and the skin also play roles in excretion, the kidneys bear the major responsibility for eliminating nitrogenous (nitrogen-containing) wastes, toxins, and drugs from the body!.
The trillions of cells in the body require an abundant and continuous supply of oxygen to carry out their vital functions!. We cannot "do without oxygen" for even a little while, as we can without food or water!. Furthermore, as cells use oxygen, they give off carbon dioxide, a waste product the body must get rid of!.

The cardiovascular and respiratory systems share responsibility for supplying the body with oxygen and disposing of carbon dioxide!. The respiratory system organs oversee the gas exchanges that occur between the blood and the external environment!. The transportation of respiratory gases between the lungs and the tissue cells is accomplished by the cardiovascular system organs, using blood as the transporting fluid!. If either system fails, body cells begin to die from oxygen starvation and accumulation of carbon dioxide!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
