Osmosis is a biophysical phenomenon occurring commonly in biologic systems, in which cells of fluid compartments are separated by semipermeable membranes. Osmosis describes the diffusion of the solvent through a semipermeable membrane. The driving force of the solvent shift is the concentration difference of solutes in the solutions separated by the semipermeable membrane. In contrast to solvent, solutes cannot pass this barrier. Water, the usual solvent in biologic systems, migrates from the compartment with lower concentration to the compartment with higher concentration of solutes. The net fluid flux ends when the concentration of osmotic active molecules is equal in the two compartments. Therefore the distribution of water is a matter of osmosis and not transport of solutes.
