  1. Muscular System: Muscles begin to rapidly contract and relax involuntarily when you are cold. Friction from this rapid movement generates heat and helps your body maintain its core temperature. Integumentary System: Allows body to sweat to help cool down and maintain core body temperature. Digestive System: Large intestine absorbs excess liquids to help maintain the proper amount of water in the body. Nervous System: Allows all parts of your body to communicate with each other; controls all functions of the body to allow organ systems to carry out processes in order to maintain homeostasis. Lymphatic System: Returns extra cellular fluids to your bloodstream to be removed by the excretory system. This prevents you from swelling up like a balloon! HOMEOSTASIS From the Greek words homoioswhich means “same” and stasis which means “stationary, stay still”. Endocrine System: Produces hormones that allow your body to function normally. EX – When you are scared, your endocrine system produces adrenaline so you can react quickly (“Fight or Flight” Response) Respiratory System: Exchanges carbon dioxide in your body with oxygen. Keeps them in the correct amounts so that you don’t have too much or not enough of both. Excretory System: Removes wastes and toxins from your body so you can remain in a healthy, normal state.
