tonicity

The muscular tonicity of each denied any further act to his opponent.

There are three classifications of tonicity that one solution can have relative to another.

I also observed, carefully, her tension, the tonicity of her body.

With a rise in extracellular tonicity, the cells compensate by losing a small amount of water.

It is realized chiefly by tonicity.

'You see fish everywhere, Doctor, it is the characteristic of tonicity.'

Osmolarity and tonicity are related, but different concepts.

A uterotonic is an agent used to induce contraction or greater tonicity of the uterus.

He's the man who correlated the theory of optimum tonicity with the relaxation technique that Korzybski had developed empirically.

Fresh water is not usually used if the sting occurs in salt water, as changes in tonicity can release additional venom.

The term was coined to express the idea of a harmoniously balanced "tonicity in constant adaptation to the state or activity of the moment".

Solutes able to freely cross the membrane do not affect tonicity because they will always be in equal concentrations on both sides of the membrane.

Tonicity for the placing of the principal accent on a particular syllable of a word, making it the tonic syllable.

Tonicity aberrations are associated with many diseases of the eye (e.g. Adie syndrome).

Like osmotic pressure, tonicity is influenced only by solutes that cannot cross the membrane, as only these exert an osmotic pressure.

The hops and beer exfoliation would, I was told, help remove dead skin cells, improve tonicity, restore vitality, reduce stress, improve blood circulation and.

With the use of intravenous hypertonic saline, the correction can be too quick, not allowing enough time for the brain's cells to adjust to the new tonicity.

Since the pelvic floor is composed of mainly involuntary fibers, traditional exercise may reduce the basal tonicity of the pelvic floor muscles.

This area represents the highest concentration in the nephron, but the collecting duct can reach this same tonicity with maximum ADH effect.

Therefore an isotonic or hypertonic salt water solution is normally used, i.e. water with enough salt to match the tonicity of the body cells and blood.

Tonicity is a measure of the osmotic pressure gradient (as defined by the water potential of the two solutions) of two solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane.

These include solubilizers, stabilizers, buffers, tonicity modifiers, bulking agents, viscosity enhancers/reducers, surfactants, cheating agents, and adjuvants.

Through observation of plasmolysis and deplasmolysis it is possible to determine the tonicity of the cell's environment as well as the rate solute molecules cross the cellular membrane.

When the concentration is high enough, the nerves reach the action potential threshold, the action (in this case speeding up the heart rate) climbs steeply, until the cells die of hyper tonicity.

It occurs as a consequence of a rapid rise in serum tonicity following treatment in individuals with chronic, severe hyponatraemia who have made intracellular adaptations to the prevailing hypotonicity.
