Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Osmoregulation is a homeostatic mechanism that mainly balances the concentration of water and salt across the human body in the following ways: If the salt concentration is high and that of water is low in the body, the urine formed is hypertonic. This results in the prevention of any further loss of water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Osmoregulation is the process of maintenance of salt and water balance (osmotic balance) across membranes within the body’s fluids, which are composed of water plus electrolytes and non-electrolytes. An electrolyte is a solute that dissociates into ions when dissolved in water.
