| 21. | Osmolarity is affected by changes in water content, as well as temperature and pressure.
|
| 22. | Increased osmolarity frequently occurs following illness due to chronic neurotoxic diseases such as Lyme disease.
|
| 23. | This high serum osmolarity stimulates excessive urination.
|
| 24. | With the newer reduced-osmolarity, more dilute solution, this is not necessary.
|
| 25. | One cycle takes several seconds, depending on the species and the environment's osmolarity.
|
| 26. | This condition results in a net concentrating effect on the serum ( increasing its osmolarity ).
|
| 27. | When these birds consume salt, the osmolarity increases in the blood plasma through the gut.
|
| 28. | Stated simply, an increase in osmolarity results in a reversible depolarization of the OVLT neurons.
|
| 29. | For comparison, most marine teleosts have an osmolarity of only around a third of seawater.
|
| 30. | The osmolarity of the solution of sodium chloride, however, is 308 milliosmoles / liter.
