| 21. | As the pore size drops from MF to NF, the osmotic pressure requirement increases.
|
| 22. | The increased osmotic pressure forces water to flow into the cell and tissue swelling occurs.
|
| 23. | However, the basic mechanism involves regulation of osmotic pressure.
|
| 24. | Osmotic pressure is the " chemical potential of concentrated and dilute solutions of salt ".
|
| 25. | The osmotic pressure drives water back into the vessels.
|
| 26. | The pressure required to stop the flow across the membrane is called the osmotic pressure.
|
| 27. | As an aside, diffusive forces are also prominent in cell biology and creates osmotic pressure.
|
| 28. | Some neurons in this organ are osmoreceptors, being sensitive to the osmotic pressure of the blood.
|
| 29. | Some neurons in the SFO are osmoreceptors, being sensitive to the osmotic pressure of the blood.
|
| 30. | Using these equations one can calculate the molar mass of solutes from the osmotic pressure data.
