What is osmotic alterations?
Osmotic alterations can be defined as the fragility of the red blood cells in hypo and hyperthyroid patients. Changes in the concentration of the thyroid hormone can affect Na+K+ATPase number and activity and the phpspholipid composition of the cell membranes.
What is osmotic imbalance?
Osmotic balance is centric around the concentration of sodium chloride across the cell membrane. When the concentration is higher outside the cell, the cell is in a hypertonic state. When the concentration is greater within the cell, the cell is in a hypotonic state. Both hypo and hypertonic states represent osmotic imbalances within a cell. Hypertonic states cause water to rush out of the cell in an attempt to equilibrate the high sodium concentration across the membrane, causing the cell to shrink. The opposite occurs during a hypotonic state, which usually culminates in the cell swelling to a bursting point.
What is hypo sludge?
hypo sludge is a waste produced in paper manufactering industry
Why is hypo used in photography?
Hypo is used in photography it is a solution of Sodium thio sulphate, Na2S2O3
What is cytololysis?
The disolution or distruction of a cellCytolysis, or osmotic lysis, occurs when a cell bursts due to an osmotic imbalance that has caused excess water to move into the cell. It occurs in a hypotonic environment, where water diffuses into the cell and causes its volume to increase. If the volume of water exceeds the cell membrane's capacity then the cell will burst.The cell will only burst if the cell is an animal cell and it will only expand if it is a plant cell.
Are the terms ''hypertonic'' and ''hyperosmotic'' same?
No. Hypertonic can be seen as hypo-osmotic and same for hypotonic and hyper-osmotic
What does hypo-osmoregulatory mean?
Below normal maintenance of an optimal, constant osmotic pressure in the body of a living organism.
What is osmotic alterations?
Osmotic alterations can be defined as the fragility of the red blood cells in hypo and hyperthyroid patients. Changes in the concentration of the thyroid hormone can affect Na+K+ATPase number and activity and the phpspholipid composition of the cell membranes.
What is hypo-tonics?
it means having a lower osmotic pressure then a camparison solution! It also means Having less than normal tone or tension, as of muscles or arteries.
What is the disease caused by hypo secretion of antiduretic hormone This condition is marked by the elimination of large volumes of urine each day?
Diabetes Insipidus
What is the difference between iso saline and hypo saline?
Iso saline refers to a body of water with equal salt concentrations (for example when compared to seawater). Hypo saline conditions is when the salt concentration is less than that of seawater.
What is hypo fever?
the fever that is hypo.
Hypo secretion of antidiuretic hormone?
Hyposecretion of antidiuretic hormone is known as diabetes insipidus.
What does hyper or hypo mean?
"Hyper" means excessive or elevated, while "hypo" means deficient or decreased. These prefixes are commonly used in medicine to describe conditions such as hyperthyroidism (excessive thyroid activity) and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
Is swimming hazardous in winter?
Indoors ... no. Outdoors ... depends on the water temperature and the outside temperature. Hypo-thermia can set in if conditions are too chilly.
What is the difference between hypo and hypertonic?
Hypo- tonic is a state in which the amount of solute (essentailly ions) inside a cell is less than the amount of solute outside a cell. In this situation a cell will take in water in order to take in more solute and eventually reach a state of equilibrium, or isotonic. Hyper- tonic is a state in which the amount of solute inside a cell is more than the amount outside the cell. The cell will lose water in this case in an effort to remove more ions and reach a state of ion concentration equal with the environment.
