Definition that contains osmotic pressure
- isotonic (used of solutions) having the same or equal osmotic pressure
- hypertonic (of a solution) having a higher osmotic pressure than a comparison solution
- reverse osmosis (chemistry) a method of producing pure water; a solvent passes through a semipermeable membrane in a direction opposite to that for natural osmosis when it is subjected to a hydrostatic pressure greater than the osmotic pressure
- hypotonic (of a solution) having a lower osmotic pressure than a comparison solution
- isosmotic solution a solution having the same osmotic pressure as blood
- hypotonicity (of a solution) the extent to which a solution has a lower osmotic pressure than some other
- isotonic solution a solution having the same osmotic pressure as blood
- osmoreceptor sensory end organ that responds to changes in osmotic pressure
- hypertonicity (of a solution) the extent to which a solution has a higher osmotic pressure than some other
- isosmotic (used of solutions) having the same or equal osmotic pressure
