Question

WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF OSMOREGULATION

Answer 1

Explanation:

the maintenance of constant osmotic pressure in the fluids of an organism by the control of water and salt concentrations.

Answer 2

Answer:

Significantly it is the fundamental process as much as important as respiration, digestion, or reproduction. As it regulates the internal osmotic environment by controlling the salt balance, water in different organisms living in salt water, fresh water, or aerial or terrestrial environment.

Explanation:

• Osmoregulation is the series of physiological processes that helps in maintaining the fixed concentration of impermeable molecules and ions of the cell membrane in the fluid that surrounds the cells. There are many structures involved in osmoregulation in different species according to their environment like skin, digestive tract, cloaca, kidneys, gills, etc.

It involves-

• Different body to brain signaling mechanisms describing the status of total fluids present in the body and their distribution.

• A neural network with the brain that receives the input of body fluids and integrates the information.

• Reflex or autonomic and endocrine mechanisms with behavioral or thirst and sodium appetite-related behavior are in control of visceral Neuraxis.
