Control of ion and water balance: osmoregulation, ionic regulation, excretion of nitrogenous wastes. Environment has several different meanings: external world for the whole animal, extracellular fluid for a cell ( own fluid and own cell) ( regulat. Ion transport: cytoplasm for intracellular enzymes ( relative to. Animals use different combinations of tissues to control ion balance in various internal and external environments. ( conformers and regulators) ( outer protective layers, and exchange organs) Internal environment= aqueous solution: volume and composition must be maintained within narrow limits ( ions and proteins in fluids and have to stay in a narrow minute) Composition different from external environment: composition tends to change towards eqm with the environment. Organism must control changes in composition of body fluids: overall solute concentration ( osmotic concentration) ( concentration of solute in the cells, concentration of specific solutes ( non salt related) Major types of hydric environments: depends on type of animals.
