Homeostasis is the human body maintaining a stable and constant internal environment independent from fluctuating external conditions. There are several variables that can affect our body’s homeostatic state, with any changes being considered a deviation. Depending upon the deviation, there are different processes to return the body back to normal and stable. The body is complex with multiple organ systems, but this essay will explain how the different parts of the nervous system and its relationship with other organ systems maintain homeostasis. The nervous system has three parts that work together, the central nervous system (CNS), peripheral nervous system (PNS), and autonomic nervous system (ANS), which are further divided and each division

Any deviation from the norm will act as a stimulus to a receptor which will send an impulse to the regulating center in brain, and then the brain will direct an effector to make the correct adaptive response. For instance, if a person’s body temperature goes too low there would be a message sent to the control center, and the adaptive response will return the body back to its normal temperature. The divisions within the major parts of the nervous system will either work with the involuntary or voluntary responses, which sometimes include collaborating with other body systems, to maintain a …show more content…
The two systems help each other perform their respective jobs. The nerves in the human body are very delicate, so the muscles of the muscular system act as a protector while the nerves act as a conduit between the muscles and the brain. Without the control center, or brain, and the neurons messages could not be sent to the message groups for them to perform their duties. An example of how the nervous system works with the muscles to maintain homeostasis is when we are cold. When an individual is too cold, the receptors in the nerve fibers will signify the brain and in return the message is sent to the muscles and shivering begins until the body temperature is back at a homeostatic state. This was just another example of how the nervous helps humans maintain
