flying whale, can do just that. Kuki, with it is life on Saturn, must be able to endure it ever changing the environment and more importantly be able to reproduce. To understand how Kuki can live on Saturn, we must delve into its reproductive, integumentary, digestive, circulatory, excretory, environmental sensing, and predatory protecting system. By look at each of these systems, we will be able to examine how Kuki can survive on Saturn and the homeostatic mechanism it has so that it may thrive.

relationship between homeostasis maintenance specifically physiologic growth and the body and how homeostatic challenges are expressed in the body. Homeostasis refers to metabolic balance maintained by several processes. The human body has several examples of homeostasis. Homeostasis is maintained within the body by a complex series of organs and organ systems, they work together to keep the body functioning correctly, when the equilibrium within the body is maintained, homeostasis occurs, the body maintains
All living things strive towards one goal: homeostasis. Homeostasis is a state of equilibrium reached through physiological processes. In order to maintain homeostasis, living things use cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems to counteract physical changes. Using a variety of different tissues, organs are formed to accomplish specific tasks. The four main types of tissues are epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscular tissue, and nervous tissue. Several sublevels exist for each type of tissue
a human being. Also, homeostasis, the regulatory of body temperature plays a survival role in maintaining body functions. The integumentary system (skin) is the largest, and the most important part of the body. The skin is just one of the organ systems that will be discussed (Thibodeau & Patton, 2008). The body is expected to perform specific duties at specific times the organ systems as a whole, the most important organ system the integumentary system, and homeostasis, are what enables the
each organ to maintain physical, mental, and emotional health of a human being. Also, homeostasis, the regulatory of body temperature plays a survival role in maintain body functions. The integumentary system (skin) is the largest and the most important part of the body. The skin is just one of the organ systems that will be discussed in this paper. Bodies depend on the functions of the organ systems, homeostasis, and the most important organ system, the skin in order to perform specific duties at
The integumentary system plays an intrinsic role in the function of the human body. The system is made up of the skin and skin derivatives such as hair, nails, glands and receptors and provides the body with a line of defence against foreign, infectious pathogens (Moore et al., 2013). The skin is the most vulnerable organ to injury and disease as it is an external organ and the largest organ of the body, contributing to approximately 15% of the body’s weight (Hackman, 2014). The skin also helps to
rich golden colors of summer. Sadly, skin damage was caused summer after summer as the integumentary system was barraged with UV rays, knocking its system out of homeostasis. Burns can range from first to third-degree with identifiable marking to each. Avid sun bathers have probably all experienced anything from a slight reddening to blistered skin. Each degree of burn destroys cells thereby disrupting homeostasis. Injury suffered by the epidermis, dermis, and possibly hypodermis, breaks down the protection
