Full Text. Hormonal Regulation of the Excretory System. Maintaining a proper water balance in the body is important to avoid dehydration or over-hydration (hyponatremia).

We take water in by mouth in food and drink, along with electrolytes. We excrete water through urine and feces. Also, a significant amount of water is lost through insensible losses by sweating and breathing. While sweating and breathing do shed water, it's the kidneys that are most responsible for ridding the body of water.
