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.

What is the difference between menstrual cramps and pms?
mote1985 [20]
Well the first difference is that PMS is mostly a psychological and somewhat physical syndrome. The proof is that the symptoms of PMS are irritability, stress and dysphoria. There is of course a lot of other symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, headache, fatigue, mood swings, and increased emotional sensitivity. The cause of PMS are the changes in levels of estrogen and progesterone. Now, menstrual cramps are physical condition. The symptom is pain in lower abdomen. And the cause is the menstruation itself. So there you have the differences. PMS as its own name says (Premenstrual syndrome) occurs before menstruation, more accurately 5 - 10 days before menstruation which is luteal phase of menstrual cycle. Menstrual cramps can occur several days before menstruation or can occur when menstruation starts, and they slowly disappear as menstruation slowly ends

Emily is a 25-year-old asian female. emily is complaining of frequent headaches over the past 3 weeks. emily is taking birth con
Tomtit [17]
Emily's symptoms include frequent headaches, light sensitivity, nausea and vomiting. The risk factors are her smoking habit and the birth control pills that she is currently taking. A possible diagnosis could be an acute condition which is caused by a serious interaction between her smoking activity and her birth control pills. It has been proven that women who smoke while on contraceptive therapy have an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. This is because nicotine increases heart rate and blood pressure, while certain hormones present in some birth control pills (such as estrogen) increase the tension on blood vessels. For further diagnosis, the healthcare professional should check Emily's blood pressure and ask her family history on blood clots, heart problems, or stroke cases.
