5. Our nervous system and our skeletomuscular system help us react to stimuli. Give one example on how this helps us maintain homeostasis.

Answer :

Answer

The nervous and skeletomuscular systems help maintain homostasis by regulating respiration.

Explanation:

The brain stem, consisting of the pons and medulla, represent the main respiratory center.   According to Wikipedia, "an increased level of carbon dioxide in the blood, or a decreased level of oxygen, will result in a deeper breathing pattern and increased respiratory rate to bring the blood gases back to equilibrium."

This is an example of a homostastic response controlled by both of the organ systems referenced above.
