Osmoregulation is the regulation of water and ion concentrations in the body. Keeping this regulation precise is critical in maintaining life in a cell. Balance of water and ions is partly linked to excretion, the removal of metabolic wastes from the body.The following information should answer some of your questions relating to this topic area. We have discussed the major components in water/ion regulation, as well as specific examples of animals and their struggle to achieve osmotic balance.
