Question
Chapter 16.7, Problem 2CYP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The process by which the body restores water-salt balance in the body after sweating.
Introduction :
The system in the body that performs the function of excretion of waste out of the body is termed as the excretory system. By this process, homeostasis is maintained in the body, and hence, is highly important for humans. One of the important organs of the excretory system is the kidney. The function of the kidney is to remove nitrogenous waste and toxins from the body via urine.
