Osmoreuglation - Osmo refer to Osmosis, regulation refer to control.
We do not want it to be too concentrated ( Hypertonic) and dilute ( Hypotonic) tissue fluid .We want to keep the tissue fluid isotonic (the amount of water into is equal to the output) so that the cell will remain size shape and same function which is achieved by controlling the composition of blood.
The kidney is the organ which controls the composition of blood.
Blood circulates through our kidney and excess water or salt is removed and excreted through the ureter here by controlling the content of water and salts in the blood, the kidney can keep the blood and therefore the tissue fluid can be maintained as isotonic which maintains the function of the cells.
