This is called a Division of Labor.

Interdependence of Body Systems
All the body systems rely on each other in order to function correctly.
If one system fails to work, every system will be affected.
This shows the interdependence of all the systems.

Let’s review:
Explain homeostasis and why it is important.
Explain feedback loops and give examples.
Why is structure related to function? Why is surface area a part of structure?
What does division of labor mean? Why is it important for all of your
body systems to work together?
