The kidney performs this function and it is thus:when the blood is more concentrated as in sugar,salts and so on we say the blood is hypertonic to the cells and this could shrink the cell but the kidney filter this salts from the blood and reabsorbs more water and a more concentrated urine is produced by anti dieretic hormone,but also sometimes the blood is hypotonic in terms of salts and so on in this case the kidney reabsorbs less water and restores some vital salts..so osmotic pressure is regulated.
