Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If you drink a lot of water, in order to keep homeostatic balance, whatever you don’t sweat out will ____
A
stay absorbed in your blood and cause low blood pressure
B
stay absorbed in your blood and thereby decreasing your urine output
C
be excreted by kidneys thereby increasing your urine output
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As humans continuously lose water through urine and feces, perspiration, and respiration, a finely balanced and sensitive network of physiological controls is necessary to maintain water levels. This is body water homeostasis, which is maintained by stimulating fluid intake by thirst.

Detailed explanation-2: -The biological or technical term for the process of maintaining water and salt balance in the blood is known as osmoregulation. Osmoregulation helps in maintaining homeostasis of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -On the other hand, if the water concentration is too low outside compared to the inside of the cells, water will leave by osmosis and the cells may shrivel. If body cells lose or gain too much water by osmosis they do not function efficiently.
