Where does osmoregulation take place in the urinary system?

Answer 1

In the urinary system, osmoregulation takes place in the renal tubules and collecting ducts in the kidney.

These parts are where selective reabsorption takes place, where water, glucose, salts and other necessary substances are absorbed back into the surrounding blood capillaries, from the renal tubule, which eventually leads to the bladder.

The tubule is affected by the hormone ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) from the pituitary gland in the brain, which makes the renal tubule membrane more permeable, so more water can be reabsorbed, or vice versa - Makes the membrane more permeable so that more water is excreted.

Osmoregulation is an example of homeostasis.

Answer 2

Osmoregulation primarily takes place in the kidneys within the urinary system. The kidneys regulate the concentration of water and solutes in the blood by filtering and reabsorbing substances to maintain proper balance and blood pressure. Hormones such as antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and aldosterone also play key roles in osmoregulation.
