Contents The properties of water -- Osmosis -- The interaction of water with organic solutes -- The need for, and often conflicting issues of osmoregulation and volume regulation -- Osmoconformers -- Hyporegulators -- Hyper-regulators: life in fresh water -- Terrestrial animals -- Membranes as sites of energy transduction -- Transport of ions and water in epithelia: molecular insights -- Volume and osmotic regulation
Summary Osmoregulation and water balance are essential topics in animal physiology. This book starts with the physical properties of water, and the influence that it has on biological design. It then looks at the effect of the environment on physiology
