NOTE 2

Fluid transport
Diffusion –solute will spread from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower  concentration in a solution (solute movement)
Osmosis-osmotic pressure is the force that drains the solvent from an area of  less concentration of solute  to an area of higher concentration of solute through a selectively  permeable membrane .(solvent movement)
Filtration –movement of solute and solvent by hydro-static pressure from an area of higher pressure to lower pressure .
Hydro static pressure-pressure exerted by the wt of a solution .
Osmolality-no of osmotic-ally active particles /kg of water

Normal osmolality of plasma is 270-300 milli osmo/kgof water.
