    What is ‘osmoregulation’? How does it take place in humans?

    Marks:2
    Answer:

    Regulation of water and ion concentrations in the body is called as osmoregulation. In human beings, it is done mainly by kidneys. Kidneys filter a large number of substances from blood out of which some of the essential substances are reabsorbed by them. Excessive amount of water and ions are excreted out of the kidney whereas deficiency of water in the kidneys leads to more absorption of water in the kidneys to return it back to the blood.
