Step-by-step explanation:

-body temp: when cold, erector muscle contract, hair raise, vasoconstriction occurs, sweat production reduces, muscle shiver to enhance metabolism, and thyroid gland secret more thyroxine to enhance metabolism

-water potential balance: when we are thirsty, pituitary gland secret more ADH, kidney tubules become more permeable to water, so more water re-absorbed, less urine produced, retaining more water.
