Osmoregulation

This function is called -- Osmoregulation .
It implies the regulation of osmotic pressure of the blood
Additional Information:
Drinking enough water directly or through food helps the kidneys in their proper working. In moderate climates , as in our country (India), we drink a lot of water during summer.
Yet we urinate in summer than in winter and the urine passed is generaly thicker.
Reasons:
- We lose a considerable amount of water through perspiration and the kidneys have to reabsorb more water.
- The kidneys have to absorb more water from the urine so that to make it less concentrated.
