isotónískum
Isotónískum refers to a state where a solution has the same osmotic pressure as another solution, typically a biological fluid. In biological contexts, an isotonic solution is one that has the same concentration of solutes as the cytoplasm of a cell. When a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane. This is because the rate at which water enters the cell is equal to the rate at which water leaves the cell.
The concept of isotonicity is crucial in medicine, particularly in the administration of intravenous fluids. For
Understanding isotonicity is also important in physiology and cell biology. If a cell is placed in a
