|
Term
Where does an osmotic pressure exist? |
|
Definition
exists between two fluid compartments with different solute concentrations, if they are separated by a semipermeable membrane. |
|
|
Term
What happens to cells in a hypertonic solution? Why? |
|
Definition
Since the concentration of water is higher within the cell, there is a net movement of water from inside to outside of the cell. (water leaves the cell by osmosis)• Causes the cell to shrink as its internal pressure decreases. |
|
|
Term
What happens to cells in a hypotonic solution? Why? |
|
Definition
Since the concentration of water is higher outside the cell, there is a net movement of water from outside into the cell.• Cell gains water, swells and the internal pressure increases. Eventually burst (haemolysis). |

Definition
Oncotic pressure, or colloid osmotic pressure, is a form of osmotic pressure exerted by proteins, notably albumin, in a blood vessel's plasma (blood/liquid) that usually tends to pull water into the circulatory system. |
|
|
Term
What causes oncotic pressure? |
|
Definition
Capillaries allow most solutes to cross, but retain proteins within the plasma. This then exerts a special type of osmotic pressure |

Why is the concentration of sodium inside cells much lower than it is outside? |
|
Definition

|
|
Term
Cells contain potassium channels in their membranes. Why doesn’t all the potassium empty out of them again? |
|
Definition
As K+ leaves the cell, the inside gains a negative charge. This tends to draw cations (like K+) back into the cell |
