What do contractile vacuoles with radiating canals do in paramecium?
it helps in osmoregulation excretion and removal of carbon dioxide from body of paramecium
How is osmoregulation related to homeostasis?
Osmoregulation is a necessary funtion in order for an organism to regulate the quantity of fluid within its tissues/cells. Without Osmoregulation an organism's fluids may become too concentrated, or too diluted, to carry out normal life functions.
Is the urinary system responsible for osmoregulation?
Yes it is since when one excretes, the kidney releases excess water from the excretory system hence osmoregulation takes place.
How osmoregulation is carried out in a named protozoan?
Osmoregulation is a problem for fresh water Protozoa due to constant influx of water, which they expel by way of contractile vacuole , marine species are mostly osmoconformers .
What are the four steps of excretion?
Filtration, reabsorption, secretion, and excretion.
What is the difference between osmoregulation and excretion?
Osmoregulation is the maintenance of the amounts of water and salts in body fluids. Excretion is a process of homeostasis. In this process,nthe metabolic wastes are eliminated from body to maintain the internal conditions at equilibrium.

What are the Structures that absorb fluid from blood in the body sinuses of insects?
The Malpighian tubule system absorbs fluid from hemolymph in the body sinuses of insects. This network of tubules is responsible for osmoregulation and excretion.
What are nephrida?
if you mean nephridia (an extra 'i' second to end) they are specialised organs that function similar to kidneys in that they are used for osmoregulation and excretion. In annelids (which are segmented worms) there is one pair of nephridia per segment.

What organ is used by humans for osmoregulation?
Kidneys.
What is the technical name for regulating water in your body?
It is - OSMOREGULATION
Does the liver function in osmoregulation?
That is more the job of the kidneys.

Living thing remove waste from their body by the process of?
Many people confuse the process of excretion with the removal of waste products of digestion. Excretion, however, is actually the removal of all the waste products produced by the cells of the body.
What is the difference between osmoregulation and osmosis?
In biology, osmoregulation is important to organisms to keep a constant, optimal osmotic pressure within the body or cell. It is the way by which an organism maintains suitable concentration of solutes and amount of water in the body fluids.An example employed by organisms is excretion (such as getting rid of metabolic wastes and other substances toxic to the body when they are in large amounts).However, Osmosis is the dispersion of solutes through a selectively permeable membrane (name changed from semi permeable) from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
What is the removal of metabolic wastes?
Excretion!:)
