Answer :

Osmoregulation means the physiological processes that an organism uses to maintain water balance; that is, to compensate for water loss, avoid excess water gain, and maintain the proper osmotic concentration (osmolarity) of the body fluids.


Osmoregulation is the process in which the concentration of water and salt or the osmotic pressure is regulated to keep the body in homeostasis.

In the body of human beings, it is controlled by the Kidneys. It regulates the amount of water that should go along with the urine.
