• Osmoregulation• The active regulation of osmotic
pressure of body fluids so that homeostasis is maintained
• Excretory systems• Help maintain homeostasis by
regulating the concentration of body fluids

Biology, Seventh Edition CHAPTER 46 Osmoregulation and Disposal of Metabolic Wastes
• Principal waste products of animal metabolism• Water• Carbon dioxide• Nitrogenous wastes
–Ammonia (excreted mainly by aquatic animals)
–Urea–Uric acid

• Osmoconformers• Includes most marine invertebrates• Salt concentration of their body
fluids varies with changes in the seawater

• Osmoregulators• Marine invertebrates that inhabit
coastal habitats• Maintain an optimal salt
concentration despite changes in the salinity of their surroundings

• Nephridial organs• Include protonephridia and
metanephridia• Function in osmoregulation and
waste disposal

Biology, Seventh Edition CHAPTER 46 Osmoregulation and Disposal of Metabolic Wastes
• Protonephridia• Found in flatworms and
nemerteans• Tubules with no internal openings• Interstitial fluid enters their blind
ends, which consist of flame cells• Beating of the cilia propels fluid
through the cilia

• Metanephridia• Found in annelids and mollusks• Tubules open at both ends• As fluid from the coelom moves
through the tubule, materials are reabsorbed by capillaries
• Urine exits the body through nephridiopores

• Malpighian tubules• Extensions of the insect gut wall• Have blind ends that lie in the
hemocoel• Cells of the tubule actively
transport uric acid, etc., into the tubule
• Water follows by diffusion

Biology, Seventh Edition CHAPTER 46 Osmoregulation and Disposal of Metabolic Wastes
• Malpighian tubules, cont.• Contents of the tubule pass into the
gut and water and some other solutes are reabsorbed in the rectum
• Malpighian tubules effectively conserve water

• Freshwater fishes• Take in water osmotically• Excrete a large volume of dilute urine
• Marine bony fishes• Lose water osmotically• Compensate by drinking seawater
and excreting salt through gills• Produce a small volume of urine

• Sharks and other marine cartilaginous fishes• Retain large amounts of urea• Take in water osmotically through
the gills• Excrete a large volume of urine

• Marine mammals• Ingest seawater with their food• Produce a concentrated urine

Biology, Seventh Edition CHAPTER 46 Osmoregulation and Disposal of Metabolic Wastes
• Terrestrial vertebrates• Must conserve water• Endotherms have high metabolic
rate• Produce a large volume of
nitrogenous wastes• Conserve water through efficient
kidneys and other adaptations

• Vertebrate kidney• Functions in excretion and
osmoregulation• Is vital in maintaining homeostasis• Its structure and function are
adapted to the lifestyle of the animal

• Organs of the mammalian urinary system• Kidney
–Key organ of the urinary system, the principal excretory system in humans and other vertebrates
–In mammals, the kidney produces urine
Copyright © 2005 Brooks/Cole — Thomson Learning
Biology, Seventh Edition CHAPTER 46 Osmoregulation and Disposal of Metabolic Wastes
• Organs of the mammalian urinary system, cont.• Urine passes through the ureters to
the urinary bladder• During urination, the urine is
released through the urethra

• Structure of the kidney• Outer portion is the renal cortex
• Inner portion is the renal medulla–Contains eight to ten renal pyramids–Tip of each pyramid is a renal papilla–Urine flows into collecting ducts, which
empty through a renal papilla into the renal pelvis
• Functioning unit is a nephron

• Urine formation is accomplished by the• Filtration of plasma• Reabsorption of needed materials• Secretion of substances such as
potassium and hydrogen ions into the renal tubule

• Urine volume is regulated by ADH• Released by the pituitary gland in
response to an increase in osmotic concentration of the blood
• ADH increases the permeability of the collecting ducts to water
• As a result, more water is reabsorbed

Biology, Seventh Edition CHAPTER 46 Osmoregulation and Disposal of Metabolic Wastes
• Aldosterone andatrial natriuretic peptide work antagonistically• When blood pressure decreases,
cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus secrete renin, which leads to production of angiotensin II
• Angiotensin II stimulates aldosterone release, which raises blood pressure
Copyright © 2005 Brooks/Cole — Thomson Learning
Biology, Seventh Edition CHAPTER 46 Osmoregulation and Disposal of Metabolic Wastes
• When blood pressure increases• Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
increases sodium excretion• Inhibits aldosterone secretion• These actions increase urine
output and lower blood pressure
