Question 1

how does the heart maintain homeostasis? (simple answer please)

Accepted Answer

No simple answer: The physiology of the circulatory system is very complex.  The heart's activities in maintenance of blood pressure are highly influenced by the kidneys (which help balance intravascular volume and salts).  There are some excellent physiology books available if you are curious to learn more.

Question 2

what do heart and lungs do to maintain homeostasis?\

Accepted Answer

Oxygen in , co2 out: The right ventricle of the heart pumps venous blood through the lungs after the body has absorbed oxygen and eliminated carbon dioxide.  The venous blood pumps through the lung  capillaries, oxygen is absorbed from air in the lungs and co2 diffuses out from the blood to  lung air.  The blood returns from lung to left side of heart which pumps the arterial oxygenated blood to body and brain.

Question 3

how can you maintain a heart pacemaker?

Accepted Answer

Regular visit to doc: There isn't much you can do to maintain the pacemaker because it is implanted under your skin-often left upper chest area. Its functions are programmed by your heart doc/surgeon and regular visit/assessment is essential to ensure proper fucntioning/battery life. Certain environment may affect it such as MRI machine etc..So, visit/inform doc regularly. Eat, sleep, exercise and live well. Good luck.

Question 5

what are the best vitamins to maintain a healthy heart?
