Isotoniaan

Isotoniaan is a term that can refer to different concepts depending on the context, most commonly relating to solutions in chemistry or medicine. In the context of solutions, an isotoniaan solution is one that has the same osmotic pressure as another solution. This is particularly relevant when considering biological fluids. For instance, an isotonic solution has the same solute concentration as the cytoplasm of a cell, meaning water will not move into or out of the cell. This is crucial in medical applications, such as intravenous fluids, where maintaining the osmotic balance of the body's cells is vital. Saline solutions, like 0.9% sodium chloride, are often described as isotonic with human blood.

In a more general sense, "isotoniaan" can be an adjective describing a state of equality or balance in concentration or pressure. This concept extends beyond solutions to areas like physics or engineering where matching pressures or concentrations is important for system stability or functionality. The precise meaning is always dictated by the field in which the term is used.
