Excretion means the removal of water substances produced in the body due to metabolic activities. On the other hand, osmoregulation refers to the control of excess water and ions in the body of an organism.

Excretion vs Osmoregulation
Excretion is the process of removing waste products and toxic substances from the body. Osmoregulation refers to the process of maintaining constant osmotic pressure within the body fluids by keeping the water balance.
Type
Excretion is a type of elimination. Osmoregulation is a type of balancing the uptake and loss of water.
Main Occurrences
Excretion events are exhalation, defecation, and urination mainly. exomosis and endomosis are the main events of osmoregulation
