The homeostasis of the organism is maintained by
the communication of various organs, and its
abnormality causes the diseases. In this lecture,
we outline the role of each organ for controllingthe blood circulation, feeding, metabolism,
temperature, and sensory regulation from theviewpoint of inter-organ interaction.
