osmolarity

Both strategies work by increasing the internal osmolarity of the cell.

This results in loss of water and an increase in blood osmolarity.

One cycle takes several seconds, depending on the species and the environment's osmolarity.

Multiple compounds may contribute to the osmolarity of a solution.

The viscosity of blood is normally associated with its osmolarity.

Their presence leads to an increase in the osmolarity of the filtrate.

The difference between osmolarity and molarity can be easily explained by an example.

The osmolarity of a solution can be calculated from the following expression:

Substances with high osmolarity have been found to inhibit acid secretion.

This causes increased osmolarity in the extracellular fluid, which will eventually return blood pressure toward normal.

They increase the osmolarity of blood and renal filtrate.

From this measurement, the clinician can calculate the plasma osmolarity of a patients blood.

Osmosis favors the movement of water into the lens fibers to reduce the high osmolarity.

However, if the concentration of solutes is very low, osmolarity and osmolality are considered equivalent.

The device should be calibrated with solutions of known osmolarity, typically a 2-point calibration is used.

Water flows into the cell to bring the osmolarity back down, causing the cell to swell.

Osmolarity and tonicity are related, but different concepts.

When this is higher than the osmolarity outside of the cell, water flows into the cell through osmosis.

Osmoconformers match their body osmolarity to their environment actively or passively.

In the dehydrated state, the body has too high an osmolarity and, it appears, discards zinc to prevent this.

Urine osmolarity and electrolyte levels are typically low.

An insufficiency of water results in an increased osmolarity in the extracellular fluid.

Oral sea buckthorn oil attenuates tear film osmolarity and symptoms in individuals with dry eye.

Substances in the circulation can also increase the amount of circulating fluid by increasing the osmolarity of the blood.

The gills' large surface area tends to create a problem for fish that seek to regulate the osmolarity of their internal fluids.
