Question

which body system controls the body to maintain homeostasis?
skeletal
nervous
circulatory
excretory

Explanation:

To determine which body system controls the body to maintain homeostasis, we analyze each option:

• The skeletal system provides structure and support, not control for homeostasis.
• The nervous system coordinates and controls body functions, including regulating processes to maintain homeostasis (e.g., temperature, blood pressure regulation through neural signals).
• The circulatory system transports nutrients and oxygen, but does not control homeostasis directly.
• The excretory system removes waste, but is more of an effector in homeostasis rather than the primary control system.

So the nervous system is the one that controls the body to maintain homeostasis.

Answer:

B. nervous
