EQUILIBRIUM WITHIN THE BODY

Respiratory System
Breathing affects body equilibrium in a number of ways. Relaxed deep breathing provides oxygen necessary for brain function and interaction with the sense organs that detect equilibrium.

If unable to keep equilibrium in respiration, could cause lack of oxygen to the brain and other vital organs causing them to shut down causing death.

Skeletal System
Balance within muscle groups and alignment of the skeletal system affect body equilibrium

Small shifts of bones can affect the whole skeletal system. When the bite of the jaw is off or one leg is longer than the other, the entire spine compensates for the misalignment

Integumentary System
Involved in protecting the body from invading microbes and regulating body temperature

With imbalance in the skin and the system, diseases would be able to enter freely and we wouldn't sweat to maintain a healthy body temperature

Cardiovascular System
By far the most important, the heart and transports hormones and nutrients, along with the transportation of waste and allowing all living body cells with fresh oxygen

Without this system being perfectly working the heart can cause the body severe damage, mostly caused by age and genetics the heart can at times result in death or life long abnormalities
