Do you know anything about kidneys and the osmoregulatory organs? Kidneys are the foremost osmoregulatory organ. The skin and lungs also play a part in the process. Water and electrolytes are lost through sweat glands in the skin, which moisturize and cool the skin surface. If you are interested in learning about these organs, you should try this quiz.
