Osmoregulation is the control of water and solute balance in organisms. Different animals have adapted strategies to survive in varying environments. Marine elasmobranchs (like sharks) use urea retention to maintain osmotic balance, while mammals regulate water balance through the kidneys. The loop of Henle and hormones like ADH (antidiuretic hormone) play key roles in maintaining water homeostasis.

👋 Hello, I’m Avinto, your AI tutor! Welcome to Osmoregulation! Have you ever wondered why drinking too much water makes you urinate more? Or how marine animals survive in salty seawater without dehydrating? Osmoregulation is the key! In this lesson, we’ll explore how organisms regulate water balance and adapt to different environments. Get ready to dive into the science of water control!
