mind human. The endocrine system helps with maintaining homeostasis by regulation of the activity cells. The endocrine system is basically hormones and those hormones are released into the blood of the body controlled by stimulus. The endocrine system does not and can’t work alone. It works with many other systems every day. For example‚ it works with the nervous system to help maintain homeostasis. They are like the bog dogs of homeostasis. They coordinate the function of the body system. It does

potassium is important in determining the cellular membrane potential. Small changes in the extracellular potassium level can have profound effects on the function of the cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems. The kidney determines potassium homeostasis‚ and excess potassium is excreted in the urine. The reference range for serum potassium level is 3.5-5 mEq/L‚ with total body potassium stores of approximately 50 mEq/kg (ie‚ approximately 3500 mEq in a 70-kg person). Hypokalemia is defined
