The urinary and respiratory systems rely on the cardiovascular system to circulate the blood with which they exchange wastes and gases. This reliance is an example of
A) equilibrium
B) emergent properties
C) integration
D) differentiation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Integration refers to the coordination and interaction between different systems in the body. In this case, the urinary and respiratory systems rely on the cardiovascular system to transport the necessary materials for their function, highlighting the integration of these systems. Equilibrium refers to a state of balance, emergent properties refer to the new properties that arise from the interaction of different components, and differentiation refers to the process by which cells become specialized. None of these concepts best describe the relationship between these systems.
