Question

Give appropriate biological or technical terms for the process of maintaining water and salt balance in the blood.

Answer 1

The biological or technical term for the process of maintaining water and salt balance in the blood is known as osmoregulation. Osmoregulation helps in maintaining homeostasis of the body. In humans, the kidney is the osmoregulatory organ in which blood pressure forces fluid to filter through the walls of blood capillaries into tubules that process the filtrate into urine.
