Osmoregulation

Under the influence of stress, a number of changes occur that affect the internal organs and systems of the body. Osmoregulatory processes are a complex mechanism aimed at maintaining the constancy of the internal composition and environment of the body in response to physiological and pathological changes and changes in the external environment.

As practice shows, in extreme environmental conditions the body is apparently not able to fully perform the task of regulating the osmotic state and temperature. Therefore, the body is often forced to use all remaining resources to preserve life. Stress leads to increased implementation of innate mechanisms. This, in turn, is accompanied by the activation of a number of biologically active substances. Activated substances can either enhance metabolic processes aimed at adapting to a stressful situation, or lead to their disruption. In this case, they can also disrupt regulatory mechanisms. If the stress load is high, then dysregulation can lead not only to inhibition of vital functions, but also lead to irreversible changes. All this can have consequences both for human health and for animals and plants. But it is the ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions that allows humans to be one of the dominant species on planet Earth.
