Mucosa can be found in the lining of the GI tract and friable is a term used to described the amount of degradation experienced in the GI tract. The Mucosa of the GI tract aids in the degradation of food in the body.
The osmotic fragility curve has a sigmoidal shape because red blood cells undergo a gradual increase in fragility as the osmolarity of the surrounding solution increases. Initially, there is little change in fragility as osmolarity increases, followed by a sharp rise in fragility at a certain point, and then a plateau as the cells reach their maximum fragility.
Brittle is an adjective. The noun form would be brittleness.
Factors that affect osmotic fragility tests include the pH of the solution, temperature, duration of exposure to hypotonic solutions, and the presence of any interfering substances in the sample. Changes in these factors can alter the erythrocyte membrane permeability and impact the results of the test.
As a baby, Doodle was small, fragile-looking, and weak. He had a tiny body with delicate features and a soft, vulnerable expression. His limbs were thin and lacked strength, making him seem almost birdlike in his fragility.
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.

Osmotic fragility usually (unless otherwise mentioned) refers to the ease with which Red Blood Cells (RBCs) undergo lysis in a hypotonic solution. Before knowing what 'low osmotic fragility' means, one should know the concept of osmotic fragility. Different parameters, some of them related to the RBC and some of the extracellular environment have an effect on osmotic fragility. Low osmotic fragility means that the RBCs have a resistance against undergoing lysis when suspended in solutions which are hypotonic. They undergo lysis only if the solution is extremely hypotonic. In contrast, high osmotic fragility refers to the tendency of the RBCs to lyse even if the solution in which they are suspended in is mildly hypotonic. As an example for low osmotic fragility would be thalassemia. And as an example for high osmotic fragility, spherocytosis (a hereditary condition where the RBCs lose their usual biconcave structure and become spherical) causes increased osmotic fragility. i.e, It very easily lyses even at solutions which are mildly hypotonic... p.s Another interesting point to note is that in sickle cell anemia, the RBCs show increased mechanical fragility but decreased osmotic fragility. Elucidated by the fact that post-splenectomy the RBC lifespan increases.

The word "fragility" originates from the Latin word "fragilis," meaning "easily broken" or "brittle." It is derived from the Latin root "frangere," which means "to break." The word fragility is used to describe the quality of being delicate, vulnerable, or easily broken.
