Question

Why is maintaining the osmotic concentration important in a lung cell? What factors contribute to its regulation?

Answer 1

$\huge\green{\bold{\underline{❝Answer❞}}}$

By diffusion of water or solutes, osmotic balance ensures that optimal concentrations of electrolytes and non-electrolytes are maintained in cells, body tissues, and in interstitial fluid. Solutes or water move across a semi-permeable membrane, causing solutions on either side of it to equalize in concentration.
