homeostasis is essentially the maintenance of the body's internal environment, including things like levels of water for substances like blood (less water means more viscous blood). For this particular example, osmosis takes part in the kidney, affecting how much water is reabsorbed into the body hence affecting the thickness of blood. The kidney purposefully makes its medulla very concentrated so as to reabsorb water as urine passes by in the collecting duct. The extent of osmosis can be effected by hormones such as Anti-diuretic hormone, which makes the walls of the collecting duct more permeable so more water is reabsorbed.

How is osmosis related to homeostasis?

What help maintain homeostasis in cells does not require energy?
Simple diffusion and osmosis help maintain homeostasis in cells and do not require the cell to expend energy.
Pathologic condition affect the homeostasis of the body?
Pathological conditions do affect the homeostasis of the body. This is the constant state of the body when it is in good health. An illness will change this homeostasis.
Does osmosis mean correct balance stability of body fluids?
No; osmosis is a mechanism whereby something may be absorbed into something else by diffing across a membrane.I believe the word you are looking for is homeostasis.
How are osmosis and diffusion similar to homeostasis?
tecnicly, they arn't osmosis (in terms of life) is the diffusion of water across the cell membrane diffusion is the natral movement of particls from a higher consintration to a lower consintration.

What are forms of cellular regulation?
enzyme function, diffusion, osmosis, homeostasis
How does Chlamydia affect homeostasis?
Chlamydia affect homeostasis by causing inflammation in the area that it has infected.
What organelle main function maintain homeostasis?
Homeostasis is maintained through the plasma/cell membrane. The cell membrane performs osmosis to do so
What are the four functions of the cell membrane that help a cell maintain homeostasis?
by diffusion and osmosis
What help maintain homeostasis in cells does not require energy?
Simple diffusion and osmosis help maintain homeostasis in cells and do not require the cell to expend energy.
Pathologic condition affect the homeostasis of the body?
Pathological conditions do affect the homeostasis of the body. This is the constant state of the body when it is in good health. An illness will change this homeostasis.
In order for an animal to maintain homeostasis the medium must not (apex)?
Allow osmosis to occur (apex)
Why does temperature affect the rate of osmosis?
as the temperature increases, the rate of osmosis increases
What mental illnesses affect homeostasis?
all mental illnesses essentially affect homeostasis because they all compromise brain function
What do you need for homeostasis?
Homeostasis when referred to cells, basically means the cell is "happy". It is the driving force of diffusion and osmosis, the passage of high density to low density through a barrier.
Does temperature affect the rate of osmosis?
Yes as temperature increases. So, does the rate of osmosis.
