What is the role of the pituitary gland in osmoregulation?
the role of the postirior petitary gland in the osmoregulation is to secreet a homone called the ANTI-DIURETIC-HOMONE [A.D.H] which helps in the reabsorvetion of water back into the body streem.
What is the difference between osmoregulation and excretion?
Osmoregulation is the maintenance of the amounts of water and salts in body fluids. Excretion is a process of homeostasis. In this process,nthe metabolic wastes are eliminated from body to maintain the internal conditions at equilibrium.
What organs are involved in osmoregulation?
It is not an organelle that is associated with osmoregulation but an organ system. That system is the urinary. The vacuole in cells, an organelle, stores water and may be what you are looking for.
How does osmoregulation occur in unicellular organisms?
Osmoregulation in unicellular organisms is by active transport. For example in Paramecium - osmoregulation is done by organelles called contractile vacuoles. These contractile vacuoles are spherical shaped structures surrounded by a series of radiating ducts. These ducts collect water and pump it into the central area by means of contractile fibres that contract and force the water into the center. When the vacuoles are full the unicellular organism contracts forcing the water outside the cell.
The absorption of water back into the body is controlled by?
A process called osmoregulation controlled by the hypothalamus in the brain. tl
How is osmoregulation related to homeostasis?
Osmoregulation is a necessary funtion in order for an organism to regulate the quantity of fluid within its tissues/cells. Without Osmoregulation an organism's fluids may become too concentrated, or too diluted, to carry out normal life functions.
What organ is used by humans for osmoregulation?
Kidneys.
What is the technical name for regulating water in your body?
It is - OSMOREGULATION
Does the liver function in osmoregulation?
That is more the job of the kidneys.
How do invertebrates achieve osmoregulation?
Invertebrates achieve osmoregulation by conforming to the surrounding water. They use membranes to achieve this type of regulation and water passes back and forth through the membranes.
Is the urinary system responsible for osmoregulation?
Yes it is since when one excretes, the kidney releases excess water from the excretory system hence osmoregulation takes place.
How osmoregulation is carried out in a named protozoan?
Osmoregulation is a problem for fresh water Protozoa due to constant influx of water, which they expel by way of contractile vacuole , marine species are mostly osmoconformers .

Importance of osmoregulation for body cells?
Please see: Turgor pressure. Thank you
What is asmoregulation?
do you mean osmoregulation...it is the process by which cells and simple organisms maintain fluid with their surroundings
What organs are involved in osmoregulation?
It is not an organelle that is associated with osmoregulation but an organ system. That system is the urinary. The vacuole in cells, an organelle, stores water and may be what you are looking for.
