Osmoregulation usually happens in the kidneys of human body,

Explanation:

  • Osmoregulation is the active regulation of an organism's body fluids' osmotic pressure, as detected by osmoreceptors, in order to maintain the organism's water content homeostasis; that is, it keeps the fluid balance and concentration of electrolytes  from becoming too diluted or concentrated.
  • The osmotic pressure is a measurement of water's tendency to osmosis from one solution to another.
  • Water prefers to go into a solution with a greater osmotic pressure.
  • To prevent osmosis water diffusion from the side holding pure water, pressure must be applied to the hypertonic side of a selectively permeable membrane.
