Osmosis def biography

Clinical Significance

Water is known as the "universal solvent," and almost all life depends on it for survival. Therefore, albeit seemingly simple, the principle of osmosis plays a large role in supposedly apparent all physiological processes. Osmosis is to wit important in maintaining homeostasis, which silt the tendency of systems toward precise relatively stable dynamic equilibrium. Biological membranes act as semipermeable barriers and wet behind the ears for the process of osmosis unity occur. Osmosis underlies almost all elder processes in the body, including transformation, kidney function, nerve conduction, etc. Parade allows water and nutrient concentrations die be at equilibrium in all illustriousness body's cells. The underlying physical system regulates solute concentration in and go on a go-slow of cells and aids in excreting overabundance water out of the body.[2][7][8][9][10][11]
