Why brain cells swell when the blood plasma is very dilute?
Osmosis is the movement of water from a High Water (Dilute Solution) to a Low Water (Strong Solution).

This happens because the high concentration of water (in the blood) is moving to the lower concentration of water (brain cells) making the cells swell as they are taking on too much water.
