Transport Epithelia

This article explores the fundamental differences between osmoregulators and osmoconformers in relation to nitrogenous waste and excretory systems. It examines key functions such as filtration, reabsorption, and secretion within invertebrate excretory systems. Additionally, it delves into thermoregulation mechanisms in ectotherms and endotherms, highlighting how the skin functions in temperature regulation and the role of brown fat in heat production. This comprehensive overview elucidates the physiological adaptations of these organisms.
