Question

question 1-5
which sequence best describes an interaction between the integumentary and excretory systems that helps maintain homeostasis?
○ body temperature increases -> glands release sweat -> body temperature decreases
○ blood sugar levels rise -> pancreas secretes insulin -> blood sugar continues to rise
○ heart rate increases -> blood vessels constrict -> blood pressure increases
○ blood vessel is damaged -> platelets begin to clump -> blood vessel ruptures

Explanation:

The integumentary system includes sweat glands (part of the skin), and the excretory system functions in waste/fluid excretion. When body temperature rises, sweat glands (integumentary) release sweat; as sweat evaporates, it cools the body, lowering temperature and maintaining homeostasis. The other options involve different body systems: B involves endocrine and digestive, C involves cardiovascular, D involves cardiovascular/clotting.

Answer:

A. Body temperature increases -> Glands release sweat -> Body temperature decreases
