Osmotic Pressure:This is the pressure exerted by the solution. This stops the solvent flow from passing by the way of the semipermeable membrane. This process is also called osmosis.Answer and Explanation: Become a member and unlock all Study Answers Start today. Try it now Create an...
force per unit area,pressure,pressure level- the force applied to a unit area of surface; measured in pascals (SI unit) or in dynes (cgs unit); "the compressed gas exerts an increased pressure" hypertonicity- (of a solution) the extent to which a solution has a higher osmotic pressure ...
Colloid osmotic pressure increased significantly in patients whose ascites resolved after TIPS. Colloid osmotic pressure did not change in the patients whose ascites did not resolve after TIPS, and COP decreased significantly in the LVP group. A statistically significant difference was found in the pre...
Exposure to distilled water leads to stiffening of cells due to removal of excess surface area and tension increase due to elevated osmotic pressure across the plasma membrane. Highlights ► The way membrane tension is regulated by adaption of the cell's surface area. ► A new way towards ...
Osmotic pressure is critically important in the biology of a cell, as the cell's membrane is selectively permeable, and water can move freely in/out of the cell.Answer and Explanation: Osmosis is the net movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane, from the side with higher water ...
It is one of the novel drug delivery system which can control release of drug from the dosage form. It provides a better control of plasma drug level which helps in increased efficacy and constant delivery. These systems utilize osmotic pressure as major driving force for delivery of drug. ...
Successful treatment of increased intracranial pressure by barbiturate therapy in a patient with severe sinus thrombosis after failure of osmotic therapy. ... A patient with sinus thrombosis and characteristic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, who was managed successfully by barbiturate therapy, ...
(b) Decrease in the blood osmotic pressure (c) Damage to the Malpighian corpuscles (d) Damage to the proximal convoluted tubules View Solution Which one increases glomerular pressure ? View Solution Diffusion rates are affected by : (a) Pressure ...
Osmotic stress is widespread in host environments because of the potential influence of many factors, such as diet1, physiology2, diseases3,4and drugs5. For example, a 7-fold increase in osmolarity at lesion sites3can be induced by cystic fibrosis in the airway. Osmotic pressure perturbations ...
Regulation of apparent viscosity and O transfer coefficient by osmotic pressure in cell suspensions of Panax notoginseng As the dry weight to fresh weight ratio of Panax notoginseng cells is related to the medium sugar concentration, the osmotic pressure can be increased by a... YH Zhang,HQ Wang...
