A member asked:
How does the heart maintain homeostasis? (simple answer please)
A doctor has provided 1 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.
