What we have learnt
- Osmoregulation involves maintaining water and solute balance in organisms.
- The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney, crucial for blood filtration and waste removal.
- Nervous system signaling relies on the transmission of nerve impulses through neurons.
Key Concepts
- -- Osmoregulation
- The process by which organisms regulate water and solute concentrations within their bodies.
- -- Nephron
- The basic structural and functional unit of the kidney responsible for urine formation.
- -- Synaptic Transmission
- The process of neurotransmitter release and binding that allows communication between neurons.
- -- Thermoregulation
- The maintenance of stable internal body temperature despite external temperature changes.
