Filtration results when substances are forced through capillary walls by osmotic pressure?
Filtration results when nutrients are moved through the capillary walls by hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries is greater than the osmotic pressure so there is a net movement of fluid and/or solutes out of the capillaries.
What is crystalloid osmotic pressure?
Colloids: is a term used to collectively refer to the large molecular weight (nominally MW > 30,000) particles present in a solution. In normal plasma, the plasma proteins are the major colloids present. As the colloids are solutes they contribute to the total osmotic pressure of the solution. This component due to the colloids is typically quite a small percent of the total osmotic pressure. It is referred to as COLLOID OSMOTIC PRESSURE (or sometimes as the ONCOTIC PRESSURE).
Are solutes always able to diffuse through a cell's selective permeable membrane?
No, cell membranes are semi-permeable, meaning they allow some solutes to pass through - but not others.
What solution will cause hemolysis?
Hemolysis is the bursting of red blood cells (hemo- blood and lysis- bursting). There are three types of solutions that blood can be put into: hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic. The names of these give you some clue as to how the cell will behave in solution. Hypertonic solutions have greater osmotic pressure than the cells they contain, which will cause the cell to shrivel as its contents diffuse into the solution. Hypotonic solutions have less osmotic pressure than the cells inside of them, so the contents of solution will diffuse across the cell membrane and into the cell, eventually causing it to swell and burst (hemolysis). Isotonic solutions have osmotic pressure equal to that of the solutes they contain, so no net change is observed.
How are osmosis and diarrhea related?
There are two major types of diarrhea: secretory and osmotic diarrhea. Osmotic diarrhea occurs when unabsorbable solutes in the stool osmotically pull water towards them through the wall of the gut, producing diarrhea.
Does turgor pressure in a hypertonic solution increase or decrease?
more solutes = less osmotic pressure = decreased turgor pressure

Water and solutes flow form the arteriole end of the capillaries into the tissues due to what?
Hydrostatic pressure(inside capillary) is higher than osmotic pressure it re-enters the capillary on venule end because inside the hydrostatic pressure is now lessthan osmotic pressure drawing water back in
Proteins given intravenously would raise a patient's blood volume and pressure?
Proteins given intravenously would raise a patient's blood volume and pressure. This is mainly due to the fact that solutes have the same osmotic pressure.
Which solutes diffuse from patient's blood during dialysis?
urea

What is isomotic solution?
iso-osmotic is different to isotonic even though they have the same number of solute particles as in the inside of red blood cells in isotonic solutions movement of water in and out of the cell is the same and RBC's remain unchaged, in iso-osmotic solutions RBC swell and burst this is because the semi permeable cell membrane cannot exclude iso-osmotic solutios as it can other solutes, causing a concentration gradient
What is the Difference between isosmotic and isotonic solution?
isotonic solution comprise non-penetrating solute and they are solution having the same osmotic pressure as the cell they surround. they are neither absorbed or do they absorb anything from the cell.Iso-osmotic solutions are comprise penetrating and non-penetrating solutes .although they have the same osmotic pressure as the cell they surround ,they comprise penetrating solute ,which can enter the cell and increase the cell's osmotic pressure .increasing the cell's osmotic pressure,make the cell prone to absorb water from the medium in order to equalize the osmotic pressure on both sides,and this cause bursting of the cell.
What are the properties of a solution?
The presence of solutes in a solution alter the ability of solvent molecules to interact. This affects the ability of the solvent to go through phase changes. These are called colligative properties. The basic colligative properties are boiling point, freezing point, osmotic pressure, and vapor pressure.

Why osmotic method for calculation of molecular weight is better than boiling point method?
The osmotic method is better because some solutes and/or solvents are decomposed by the heating required to cause a solution to boil.
How adding solute changes the properties of a solvent?
Solutes raise and lower the boiling points of solvents. :)
