What solution with the same osmotic pressure as body fluids is called?

Osmotic pressure = i x M x R x T
i = van't Hoff factor
The van't Hoff factors are:
MgCl2 - i = 3 (Mg2+ and 2Cl-)
NaCl - i = 2 (Na+ and Cl-)
KBr - i = 2 (K+ and Br-)
Glucose - i = 1 (doesn't ionize)
MgCl2 has the greatest affect on osmotic pressure because it has the largest van't Hoff factor.

What causes osmotic pressure to develop in a cell?
Osmotic pressure occurs when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable membrane. Often the solute cannot move through the membrane, so there is pressure for the water to move from the less concentrated side to the more concentrated side, to dilute it.
What is a solution called when it has a lesser concentration of particles?
A solution with the same solute concentration as another (e.g. human body fluids) is called isotonic.
What The study of pressure on liquids?
The study of liquids at rest called is known as hydrostatics. This a study of the mechanism of fluids which is a branch of physics.
Fluids like air tend to move toward areas of high pressure?
No. Fluids move away from areas of high pressure and toward areas of low pressure.
Explain how bound water affects the osmotic behavior of dilute biological fluids?
Some water molecules form a hydration shell around hydrophilic solute molecules through adhesion. These are referred to as bound water molecules, and are unable to diffuse freely across the plasma membrane. A dilute solution is a solution that contains more solvent than solute. In dilute biological fluids, the difference in the proportion of unbound water molecules causes osmosis, rather than the difference in water concentration.
What pressure is responsible for reabsorption and for pulling fluids into the venous end of capillaries?
Osmotic pressure
What is osmorgulation definition?
I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with orgasms. Try spelling it "osmoregulation". For that, Wikipedia says: Osmoregulation is the active regulation of the osmotic pressure of an organism's fluids to maintain the homeostasis of the organism's water content; that is, it keeps the organism's fluids from becoming too diluted or too concentrated. Osmotic pressure is a measure of the tendency of water to move into one solution from another by osmosis. The higher the osmotic pressure of a solution, the more water tends to move into the solution. Pressure must be exerted on the hypertonic side of a selectively permeable membrane to prevent diffusion of water by osmosis from the side containing pure water.
What is the physiological adjustment to increased osmotic pressure in body fluids?
INCREASE RATE OF EXCRETION OF Na+
The thirst center in the hypothalamus is stimulated by what?
the osmotic pressure of body fluids, vascular volume and angiontensin
What are two agents of metamorphism?
Heat, Pressure, and Chemically active fluids.
What does warm water and salt after a tooth pulled?
Osmotic pressure draws fluids OUT, toward the salt solution. As long as you keep pulling any possible infection that way, you'll have less chance of problems. Osmotic pressure on an infectious bacteria also weakens the bacteria's ability to reproduce and spread the infection. Salt water is a low-tech, highly effective way to control infection in a tooth extraction.

Is there any osmotic difference between a shark's fluids and the sea water in which it swims?
There is no osmotic difference. This happens more with freshwater vertebrates than marine creatures.
What is a solution called when it has a lesser concentration of particles?
A solution with the same solute concentration as another (e.g. human body fluids) is called isotonic.
Fluids create high or low pressure?
fluids create low pressure.
How do fluids move through a pressure difference?
Fluids flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
The movement of fluids between cellular compartments involves?
The movement of fluids between cellular compartments?
