Hyper-osmotic stress refers to a condition in which cells experience an increase in extracellular osmolarity, causing water to move out of the cells to balance solute concentrations. This can lead to cell shrinkage and disrupt normal cellular functions. Cells respond to hyper-osmotic stress by synthesizing or accumulating osmoprotective molecules, such as compatible solutes, to help restore osmotic balance and maintain cellular integrity. This stress is commonly encountered in various physiological and pathological conditions, including dehydration, high salt intake, and certain medical treatments.

How do plankton take part in osmoregulation?
Plankton, particularly marine organisms, engage in osmoregulation to maintain their internal salt and water balance in response to the surrounding seawater, which is typically hyperosmotic. They achieve this by actively transporting ions across their cell membranes, using specialized proteins and mechanisms to regulate the influx and efflux of water and solutes. Some plankton, like copepods, may also produce organic osmolytes to counteract osmotic stress. This osmoregulatory process is vital for their survival, growth, and reproduction in varying salinity conditions.
What is a Stress at a divergent stress boundary?
This is known as tensile stress.
What is the stress at a divergent boundary called?
The stress at a divergent boundary is called tensional stress. This stress occurs when tectonic plates move away from each other, causing the crust to stretch and thin out.
Why is the stress the earths crust?
The earth's crust is not stress
What type of stress is dominant at plate boundaries?
Tensional stress.
What do hyperosmotic laxatives do?
hyperosmotic laxatives are glycerin and lactulose (Chronulac, Duphalac), both of which act by holding water within the intestine.
Are saltwater fish hyperosmotic or hypoosmotic?
Saltwater fish are hypoosmotic.
Are the terms ''hypertonic'' and ''hyperosmotic'' same?
No. Hypertonic can be seen as hypo-osmotic and same for hypotonic and hyper-osmotic
What procedure relieves rapidly increasing intracranial pressure within the skull?
draining of csf, hyperosmotic agent like mannitol, or diureticcraniectomy
Three types of stress?
good stress, medium stress and bad stress

What is the definition of stress management?
The definition of stress management is to control stress. Good stress management provides a healthy way to relieve stress.
What are the difference kinds stress?
Normal stress and shear stress
