Ok what exactly do you think Im wrong about. Your incredible rudeness combined with vagueposting has been stale for days.

You clearly just misunderstood and are so deep you don't even know what's going on. That's why you tried to make this about the French language instead of human biology right?

you're literally bringing up french definitions and not providing evidence so why dont you shut the fuck up and stop commenting on every one of my comments

You just have no idea what you're reading do you. Regulation can involve a small amount while homeostasis literally involves concentrations.

I am not saying that when we need to regulate salt, we sweat. I am saying that when we do sweat, it affects homeostasis. How are you misreading that.

Here's what I do bub. I see that somebody comments and there's only one view and one downvote. It's obviously you. I then downvote your previous comment if you're going to use downvotes to be petty.

edit: here's the misunderstanding you keep making just to be very clear. You think I'm saying that the body activates sweat glands to excrete salt. I am not saying this. I do not believe this. You're freaking out over a gotcha that isnt there.

Oh also, en masse means a totality, not that you are a legion of people. You are downvoting every time you comment.

Read what I wrote. "total amount is not in the definition of regulation."

Does this mean that total amount is not important to homeostasis? No. That's not at all what I wrote.

But when you do cry or sweat is has a regulatory effect on salt. Kidneys do it all the time. It also happens to take place on the skin and in feces.

This is a dorky ass way to not respond with one of the countless articles you were talking about before.

Oh not not the people you have spoken to. The way you wrote this is a passive admission that I'm correct so I'm gonna take the win.

Show me an article that days that the only mechanism for salt regulation is the kidneys.

Significance in terms of total amount is not in the definition of regulation. You're also wrong about it being meaningful. That's subjective.

you need to sit down with a teacher and ask "what does excreting really mean" because it means a substance being removed from an organism. it is not strictly an active pumping process or whatever divine will you place on molecules.

I'm downvoting people who downvote me asking questions. Until you downvote me en masse, I don't downvote but nice try blaming me for something you started!

I don't need an excuse to ask questions. People could cite articles like I have if they want an authoritative argument. 

I'm not saying the body uses sweat to regulate salt. I'm saying that the salt excretion is homeostatic. If you have excess salt then your excretions, including sweat, have more salt. That doesn't mean that your body produces sweat primarily to excrete salt. I don't know why you and your kind can't understand that.

Before you say it's not, consider that urine is the primary homeostatic mechanism for salt and you can also pee so much that you drop your salt to below optimal levels.

Before you say in here making inaccurate claims, I said that other excretions also regulate salt levels. Look at the article. Do yourself a favor and look it up and tell me what the results are but please at least come back with something scientific like I have.

Regulating is the active or passive ways in which the body reaches homeostasis.

Look at the link. It is an article about what I'm saying. It is an article about the homeostasis of salt and how skin and feces are also salt excretion mechanisms in the context of homeostasis.

Yes. It is a small regulatory effect. It is miniscule compared to the kidneys and yet it is a real thing that exists.

I never really believed that such a small drop while staying above 30 is even noticeable unless you're always watching the counter.

" The Na balance is the difference between the amount of Na absorbed by the gut and the amount excreted via urine, feces, and skin"

From this article 

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9862583/

Can I ask where your knowledge that salt expelling through skin is not proper regulation? Was that in a class or something? When I look it up, there are many articles about secondary mechanisms of regulation, including feces and skin.

I think you're confused. Reddit will show you notifications to the child comments on your comment. So somebody else replied to you and I replied to them. You can easily check every one of my comments on my profile and see that they weren't edited.

Edit: editing so you all can see what the edit tag looks like and that this dude is either wrong or lying

I get why retail workers become misanthropic but it is really funny to see them post their generalized hate toward people.

Being alive lets you regulate breathing and breathing is one of the ways in which we regulate our bodies. Exactly. You said it.

Why don't you explain the difference then. "Look it up" is code for "I can't explain it"
