The osmoregulatory response and oxygen consumption rate of the strictly freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium tuxtlaense were measured under different salinity conditions. The goal of these experiments was ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A new type of electronic sensor that might be used to quickly detect and classify bacteria for medical diagnostics and food safety has passed a key hurdle by distinguishing ...

Avian eggs lose water during incubation. Within a species, the rate of water loss can vary as a result of variations in nest humidity and because egg shells differ in their resistance to the diffusion ...

Fish physiology encompasses a diverse array of adaptive mechanisms that enable species to maintain internal homeostasis while living in dynamic aquatic environments. A central facet of this physiology ...

The ability to maintain physiologic and metabolic functions in response to changes in the salinity of the surrounding environment is critical for microorganisms. How do they do it? Osmotic shock, ...

Osmoregulation, die Fähigkeit aller Lebewesen mit einem Stoffwechsel, die Konzentrationen osmotisch wirksamer Stoffe kontrollieren zu können, entweder, um osmotischen Stress zu vermeiden (z.B. durch ...

Remove waste from the body Osmoregulation close osmoregulationA form of homeostasis which controls the volume of water in the body. The reabsorption of water back into the blood (at the medulla) is ...

Osmoregulation is the control of water levels and mineral ions (salt) in the blood. Water levels and mineral ions in the blood are controlled to keep the concentrations the same inside the cells as ...
