Osmotic concentration Osmolarity is the measure of solute concentration, defined as the number of osmoles (Osm) of solute per litre (L) of solution (osmol/L or Osm/L). The osmolarity of a solution is usually expressed as Osm/L Osmolarity vs. tonicity Osmolarity and tonicity are related, but different concepts.

Hyperosmotic For instance: In kidneys, the tubular fluid is: - iso-osmotic (to plasma) when it is at the beginning of the loop of henle. - hyperosmotic (to plasma) when it is at the tip of the loop. - hypo-osmotic (to plasma) when it leaves the loop. Word origin: G. hypo: under, below + osmotic: relating to osmosis. Related forms: hyperosmotically (adverb), hyperosmosis (noun).

Anosmia Anosmia (/ænˈɒzmiə/) is the inability to perceive odor or a lack of functioning olfaction—the loss of the sense of smell. Anosmia may be temporary, but some anosmia (including traumatic anosmia) can be permanent. Anosmia is due to a number of factors, including an inflammation of the nasal mucosa, blockage of nasal passages or a destruction of one temporal lobe. Inflammation is due to chronic mucosa changes in the paranasal sinus lining and the middle and superior turbinates.

Osmoregulation Osmoregulation is the active regulation of the osmotic pressure of an organism's body fluids, detected by osmoreceptors, to maintain the homeostasis of the organism's water content; that is, it maintains the fluid balance and the concentration of electrolytes to keep the fluids from becoming too diluted or concentrated. Osmotic pressure is a measure of the tendency of water to move into one solution from another by osmosis. The higher the osmotic pressure of a solution, the more water tends to m

Mammalian Cell Culture - Osmolality Mammalian Cell Culture - Osmolality. Osmolality (osmo) is a measure of how salty the media is and significantly impacts the cellular environment of cell culture. CHO cells in a low osmo environment are bursting at the proverbial seams and conversely in high osmo environments are shriveled like Ahnold's balls on steroids. High osmolality can cause delayed cell growth or accelerate cell death (depending on where the culture is). Osmolality is not a controlled parameter per se.

anosmia Definition. The term anosmia means lack of the sense of smell. It may also refer to a decreased sense of smell. Ageusia, a companion word, refers to a lack of taste sensation. Patients who actually have anosmia may complain wrongly of ageusia, although they retain the ability to distinguish salt, sweet, sour, and bitter—humans' only taste sensations.

Osteopenia - Overview Osteopenia refers to bone density that is lower than normal peak density but not low enough to be classified as osteoporosis.Bone density is a measurement of how dense and strong the bones are. If your bone density is low compared to normal peak density, you are said to have osteopenia.aving osteopenia means there is a greater risk that, as time passes, you may develop bone density that is very low compared to normal, known as osteoporosis.
