When the concentration of electrolytes in tissue fluid is too high, intracellular water moves into the extracellular fluid compartment.
OSMOSIS:
- Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.
- Osmotic principle is based on concentration gradient i.e. difference in concentration across a membrane.
- Electrolytes represent solute such as salts, ions, sugar etc. Therefore, when the concentration of electrolytes in tissue fluid is too high, intracellular water moves into the extracellular fluid compartment.
