Kidney Structure In Relation To Osmoregulation. Osmoregulation is the process by which the body regulated the osmotic pressure of any organsms fluids in order to keep the homeostasis of the organisms water level constant. Other toxic materials poisons etc.
This brief account of the kidney illustrates its two principal function excretion and osmoregulation. The outermost layer is a tough connective tissue layer called the renal fascia the second layer is called the perirenal fat capsule which helps anchor the kidneys in place the third and innermost layer is the renal capsule internally the kidney has three regions an outer cortex a medulla in the middle and the. In that it totally removes urea from the blood it is functioning as an excretory organ clearing the body of toxic nitrogenous waste.
Relatively impermeable to water this makes the interstitial fluid in the renal medulla hypertonic in relation to the fluid in the tubules and collecting ducts despite the fact that water left in the descending portion the filtrate that moves up the ascending portion and into the distal convoluted.
