Osmoregulation is the active regulation of the osmotic pressure of body fluids to maintain the homeostasis of the body's water content, that is it keeps the body from becoming too dilute or too concentrated.
osmoregulation The regulation of the movement of water by osmosis into and out of cells; the maintenance of water balance within the body.
osmoregulation
Adaptations to control the water balance in organisms living in hypertonic, hypotonic, or terrestrial environments.
osmoregulator ...
osmoregulation The maintenance of osmolarity by an organism or body cell with respect to the surrounding medium.
We suspect that the toxins of Vibrio cholerae probably play a role in osmoregulation, the ability of crabs and cocopods to migrate through very, very strongly changing water salinities, ...
Osmoregulation refers to the state aquatic animals are in: they are surrounded by freshwater and must constantly deal with the influx of water. Animals, such as crabs, have an internal salt concentration very similar to that of the surrounding ocean.
The regulation process of body fluids and salt levels is also called osmoregulation. The kidneys act as a filter. Eventually all of the blood in your body passes through the kidneys and they are able to do their filtering magic.
Phosphorylation of Na+/K+-ATPase during the transport of sodium (Na+) and potassium(K+) ions across the cell membrane in osmoregulation to maintain homeostasis of the body's water content.
Mediates enzyme inhibition ...
A section of the brain that is involved in many regulatory functions like osmoregulation and thermoregulation. The hypothalamus has a degree of control over the pituitary gland, and also controls sleeping patterns, eating and drinking and speech.
