Renal 2

The following 3 definitions are intended to be answered as a set

Define Homeostasis:

effective gradient for water (count of dissolved particles)
Tendency of a solution to resist expansion of intracellular volume
Water gradient across the skin
Maintenance of a nearly constant internal environment

Define osmolality:
Tendency of a solution to resist expansion of intracellular volume
effective gradient for water (count of dissolved particles)
Maintenance of a nearly constant internal environment
Water gradient across the skin


Define tonicity:
effective gradient for water (count of dissolved particles)
Maintenance of a nearly constant internal environment
Tendency of a solution to resist expansion of intracellular volume
Water gradient across the skin
