Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of its pure solvent across a semipermeable...

Osmotic pressure is defined as the external pressure required to be applied so that there is no net movement of solvent across the membrane. Osmotic pressure...

Oncotic pressure, or colloid osmotic-pressure, is a type of osmotic pressure induced by the plasma proteins, notably albumin, in a blood vessel's plasma...

In chemical biology, tonicity is a measure of the effective osmotic pressure gradient; the water potential of two solutions separated by a partially-permeable...

when under too much pressure. The pressure exerted by the osmotic flow of water is called turgidity. It is caused by the osmotic flow of water through...

Osmoregulation is the active regulation of the osmotic pressure of an organism's body fluids, detected by osmoreceptors, to maintain the homeostasis of...

unit volume of solution. This value allows the measurement of the osmotic pressure of a solution and the determination of how the solvent will diffuse...

separate water molecules from other substances. RO applies pressure to overcome osmotic pressure that favors even distributions. RO can remove dissolved...

source of power when a river mixes with the sea, in terms of the lost osmotic pressure, however it was not until the mid ‘70s where a practical method of...

example, they can be used to reduce intracranial and intra-ocular pressure. Osmotic diuretics increase plasma volume, but because they do not cross the...

through the semipermeable membrane via osmosis, and the resulting osmotic pressure is used to push the active drug through the laser drilled opening(s)...

Relative lowering of vapor pressure (Raoult's law) Elevation of boiling point Depression of freezing point Osmotic pressure For a given solute-solvent...

high osmotic pressure. The incorrect salt concentration will result in low osmotic pressure, which can cause a fertilizer burn. High osmotic pressure is...

and the otherwise subsequent lysis. Cell disruption Crenation Lysis Osmotic pressure Plasmolysis Water intoxication Alberts, Bruce (2014). Essential Cell...

tissues are determined by differences in hydrostatic pressure and colloid osmotic (oncotic) pressure between plasma inside microvessels and interstitial...

from dissolved solutes. The driving force for this separation is an osmotic pressure gradient, such that a "draw" solution of high concentration (relative...

body to maintain cell-level metabolism, the regulation of the pH, osmotic pressure and temperature of the whole body, and the protection from microbial...

sodium, potassium and chloride that draws water into CSF by creating osmotic pressure. Unlike blood passing from the capillaries into the choroid plexus...

Root pressure is the transverse osmotic pressure within the cells of a root system that causes sap to rise through a plant stem to the leaves. Root pressure...

semipermeable, it is subject to osmotic pressure. When the solutes around a cell become more or less concentrated, osmotic pressure causes water to flow into...

osmotic therapy is to create a higher concentration of ions within the vasculature at the blood–brain barrier. This will create an osmotic pressure gradient...

endosmosis and as a result turgor pressure (TP) develops in the cell. The cell membrane becomes stretched and the osmotic pressure (OP) of the cell decreases...

excretory bladder. The function of these cells is to regulate the osmotic pressure of the worm, and maintain its ionic balance. Microvilli in the tube...

imaging are typically used to investigate these mechanisms. Osmotic pressure is the pressure required to prevent a solvent from passing from a region of...

hypothalamus of most homeothermic organisms that detects changes in osmotic pressure. Osmoreceptors can be found in several structures, including two of...

predicts that the optimal hydraulic pressure difference, ΔP{\displaystyle \Delta P} is one-half the osmotic pressure difference between the saline and pure...

extracellular fluid (ECF) and as such are the major contributor to the ECF osmotic pressure and ECF compartment volume.[citation needed] Loss of water from the...

therefore have no osmotic effect (because the osmotic pressure caused by these small molecules and ions – called the crystalloid osmotic pressure to distinguish...

This osmotic movement ultimately results in the swelling of lens fibers until they rupture. Vacuoles appear where a significant amount of osmotic dissolution...

effect of a solute on colligative properties such as osmotic pressure, relative lowering in vapor pressure, boiling-point elevation and freezing-point depression...
