Where does osmoregulation occur?
The water level in our body is regulated in the body by the kidneys. The water we take in and the water we loose should balanced for cells in the body to function properly. The blood is brought to the kidneys to be filtered and then goes back to the heart for circulation through the body. When the water level in the blood is very low then more water is absorbed back into the blood and the urine is concentrated. When there is high water content in the blood then less water is reabsorbed into the blood and the urine is dilute. This is how the water is regulated in the body.

How do you control the amount of water in your body?
The hypothalamus acts as the receptor for detecting whether water levels in the body are too high or too low by how concentrated or dilute the blood is.If the water level in the body is too low, i.e. the blood is concentrated:The pituitary gland secretes ADH (antidiuretic hormone)ADH signals the renal tubules in the kidneys to reabsorb more water.As a result the kidneys produce less urine, and that urine is more concentrated.The extra water being reabsorbed helps to dilute the blood.If the water level in the body is too high, i.e. the blood is dilute:The pituitary gland is not stimulated to release ADHWater reabsorption in the renal tubules is decreased.More urine is produced and that urine is dilute.Less water being reabsorbed helps to concentrate the blood a bit more.All that YOU to help this process is urinate when your body tells you it needs to, and drink more water (fluids) when your body tells you you're thirsty.

Why and how is salt water bad for you?
Sodium from salt is absorbed into the bloodstream, and the thicker blood causes an increase in blood pressure.Salt water, or water with any dissolved substance, is more difficult for the body to process. The body may not be able to absorb much water, or could actually throw off water to carry the salt out of the body. This can lead to dehydration.
