What is one way that the exiratory system help maintain homeostasis?

The respiratory system helps maintain homeostasis by regulating the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) in the blood. Through the process of respiration, it facilitates the exchange of these gases, ensuring that oxygen is delivered to tissues while removing excess CO2, which helps maintain the body's pH balance. This gas exchange is crucial for cellular metabolism and overall physiological stability.
