The amount of iron in the body is mostly regulated by?
urine
What is the name given to the kind of mechanism by which water content is regulated?
The mechanism by which water content is regulated in the body is called osmoregulation. It involves maintaining the balance of water and electrolytes in the body to ensure proper functioning of cells and organs.
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.
What gland regulates hormone levels in the body?
Under normal conditions, the water and electrolyte content of the body is regulated by the kidneys
What function distributes water throughout the body to help regulate the body temperature?
Water is transported by the process of translocation, transportation and also some times by our circulatory system, and our body temperatures are regulated by osmoregulation and metabolism.
Which cellular compartment contains the greatest amount of body fluid?
There is no compartment in the body that stores water. All the cells and the space in between them is where the water is that makes up 75% of body weight
How much water do a human body have?

The amount of iron in the body is mostly regulated by?
urine
What percent of a human weight is made of water?
Almost 60 % of body weight is composed of water. 40 % of the body water is in the intracellular compartment and 20 % of the body water is there in extracellular compartment.
How is body temperature regulated?
Body temperature is regulated by homeostasis, or thermoregulation. It also controls pH levels and water levels inside of the human body.

How do kidneys water balance?
The kidneys can either re-absorb water back into the body or excrete more water outside of the body. This is regulated by hormones such as ADH and aldosterone.
Which hormone controls the amount of water in the body?
the minaralocorticoids hormones, which help control the amount of water and salt in the body.
