What types of osmoregulatory challenges do humans experience? Explain. What mechanisms do we have to meet these challenges?
Describe the underlying osmoregulation issues that aquatic and terrestrial animals confront, as well as their solutions for overcoming them. Emphasize how their osmoregulatory organs have modified.
