for our bodies?
Homeo - same

Homeostasis in the Digestive and Excretory Systems
The digestive system’s function is to break down food into the
nutrients the body can absorb so that these nutrients can be used
by the body's cells.
The excretory system (urinary system) helps with the removal of
chemical wastes from the body.
Once the digestive system has absorbed what can be used,
there are chemical wastes that need to be eliminated which is
what the urinary (excretory) system does. Therefore,
homeostasis is managed; the body’s nutrient absorption and
elimination of chemical wastes occurs leaving the body in
balance.
