Osmoregulation and Excretion
Maintaining balance of water
• Osmoregulation
– Regulate solute concentrations
– Balance the gain and loss of water
• Excretion
– The disposal of mostly nitrogenous waste products of metabolism
Salt 20%
Salt 70%
Water 80% Water 30%
How does the solvent move through a permeable membrane?
Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration (hypo to hyperosmotic solution), in the direction that tends to equalize solute concentrations (Isoosmotic sol.)on two sides by osmotic pressure.

Osmoregulation
Kidney play a large role by regulating the amount of water reabsorbed from glomerular filtrate in kidney tubules
Physiology of osmoregulation and excretion
Osmoregulation is controlled by…
Angiotensin II: Increases Na+ and water reabsorption. Causes vasoconstriction to increase blood pressure.
Aldosterone: Increases Na+ and water reabsorption
Regulation of blood volume
& pressure
BP decreased; JG cell produce Renin
Renin-angiotensin system
If the Na conc. of the blood is high, the osmoreceptors secrete ADH. If the Na conc. of the blood is low, they don't
secrete ADH.
Regulation of ECF osmolarity
and volume
sense the Na conc. of the blood.
Excretory process
• The process of separation and elimination of waste products (esp. nitrogenous waste)
• Waste products are formed due to catabolism of amino acid, glucose, glycerol, fatty acids.
• Maintain homeostasis within organism and prevent damage to the cell body.
