1 day ago · OSMOLARITY AND TONICITY • Osmolality is determined by the total solute concentration in a fluid compartment • Tonicity refers to the ability of the combined effect of all of the solutes to generate an osmotic driving force that causes water movement from one compartment to another. • To increase ECF tonicity, a solute must be confined to the extracellular fluid compartment. • “effective osmoles” Solutes capable of causing such movement of water eg: sodium, glucose, mannitol, and ...
