Summary Introduction

To analyze: The relationship between blood pressure and blood osmolarity.

Introduction: Most of the vertebrates are osmoregulators, and the body fluids of the vertebrate animals are either hypotonic or hypertonic to their environment. Such organisms exchange nutrients and water by ingesting water and food, and by excreting feces, urine and sweat. Maintenance of osmotic balance in tissues is essential to perform different metabolic functions. Osmoregulation and maintenance of body fluid levels ensure proper thermoregulation, sufficient organ perfusion, electrolyte balance, and excretion of wastes.

Humans consider themselves amazingly clever and innovative, constantly developing "new" ways of altering the world around us. As material consumption has increased, many have turned to the ideas of recycling and reuse as a means to minimize some negative aspects of our modern consumerism. Mother Nature though is the ultimate innovator and, more importantly, the ultimate recycler.
