Cells: Change the composition of blood as they remove nutrients and add wastes. Heart: Keeps blood pressure constant to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the body. Skin: Maintains heat exchange with the external environment. Kidneys: Regulate water and salt levels and remove wastes. Lungs: Regulate gas exchange. Intestines: Supply soluble nutrients and water to the blood. Liver: Regulate blood solutes and remove toxins.
Células: cambian la composición de la sangre al eliminar nutrientes y añadir desechos. Corazón: mantiene la presión arterial constante para entregar oxígeno y nutrientes al cuerpo. Piel: mantiene el intercambio de calor con el ambiente externo. Riñones: regulan los niveles de agua y sal y eliminan desechos. Pulmones: regulan el intercambio de gases. Intestinos: suministran nutrientes y agua solubles a la sangre. Hígado: regula los solutos sanguíneos y elimina toxinas.
