Removing the Problem. The best way to get rid of a stuffy nose is to avoid tobacco and cigarette smoke no matter what. I know from personal experience that cigarette smoke will damage the lining of your sinuses and cause swelling in your sinus membranes, the chief cause of acute or chronic sinusitis.
The process in which several body systems work together to maintain the balanced environment is called homeostasis. The endocrine and nervous system work closely together to help maintain homeostasis. Examples of where they work together are thermoregulation and osmoregulation.
Other glands release hormones (say: HOR-mones), which are substances inside your body that tell it how to work and how to grow. Glands that do this are part of the endocrine (say: EN-doh-krin) system. Puberty â body changes that turn a kid into an adult â depend on the endocrine system. Still other things that we call glands are part of your immune (say: ih-MYOON) system.
