|
Osmosis
|
water passes from area of lesser solute concentration to greater concentration until equilibrium is established.
|
|
Diffusion
|
tendency of solutes to move freely throughout a solvent ("downhill")
|
|
Active transport
|
requires energy for movement of substances through cell membrane from lesser solute concentration to higher solute concentration
|
|
Isotonic solution (osmolarity)
|
same concentration of particles as plasma.
|
|
Hypertonic solution (osmolarity)
|
greater concentration of particles than plasma (cells shrink).
|
|
What does an enema with a hypertonic solution do to the body?
|
the solution draws moister from the body into itself (the solution).
|
|
hypotonic solution (osmolrity)
|
lesser concentration of particles than plasma (cells swell).
|
|
The healthy or "normal" PH level for a human
|
between 7.35-7.45
