Episode 4 - Respiratory and renal systems in homeostasis


Listen Later

We explore the roles of the respiratory and renal systems in maintaining gas exchange, fluid balance, and pH stability. The respiratory system regulates oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, crucial for aerobic metabolism and pH balance. The renal system complements this by conserving water, managing electrolytes, and excreting hydrogen ions. Integration of these systems ensures efficient homeostasis, especially in challenging environments like high altitudes or extreme temperatures.
