Osmoregulation is the active regulation of the osmotic pressure of an organism's body fluids, detected by osmoreceptors, to maintain the homeostasis of the organism's water content; that is, it maintains the fluid balance and the concentration of electrolytes (salts in solution which in this case is represented by body fluid) to keep the body fluids from becoming too diluted or concentrated. Osmotic pressure is a measure of the tendency of water to move into one solution from another by osmosis.[1] The higher the osmotic pressure of a solution, the more water tends to move into it. Pressure must be exerted on the hypertonic side of a selectively permeable membrane to prevent diffusion of water by osmosis from the side containing pure water.

Organisms in aquatic and terrestrial environments must maintain the right concentration of solutes and amount of water in their body fluids; this involves excretion (getting rid of metabolic nitrogen wastes and other substances such as hormones that would be toxic if allowed to accumulate in the blood) through organs such as the skin and the kidneys.

How are type 2 diabetes and HIV/AIDS different from each other
cupoosta [38]
Type 2 diabetes has 2 causes: genetics (mutation in a gene or genes) and/or lifestyle poor choices (overweight, etc.), whereas AIDS is a result of being infected by a virus called HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). There's also a huge difference in how they are treated. Type 2 diabetics take medicine to help them monitor their sugar levels, they have to be careful about their diet and they have to exercise. HIV/AIDS patients have to take medicines that work to try and keep the HIV virus from replicating in their blood (T-cells) and to avoid getting sick - their immune system is seriously depressed.
