OSMOREGULATION AND EXCRETION PHYSIOLOGY

Main Article Content
Abstract:
Maintaining fluid balance is essential for sustaining a variety of bodily functions, such as metabolic and biochemical processes, nutrient transport, and thermoregulation. In adults, approximately 65% of body mass consists of fluids, with this percentage being slightly lower in females than in males. Body fluids are divided into two main compartments: intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments.
