extracellular fluid compartment contains about 1/3 of all body fluids and is found in the extracellular spaces (plasma,
interstitial and transcellular)
interstitial space space between blood vessels and tissue cells of an organ that contains interstitial
fluid
diffusion the movement of solutes from and area of higher concentration to an area of lower
concentration.
osmosis the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower
solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration
osmotic pressure the force created by solutes that works to move water across a membrane
selective permeability the barrier that allows some substances to cross the plasma membrane more easily
than others

isotonic solution has the same concentration of solutes as the cell (no net water movement)
hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes than the cell (water moves out of the
cell)
hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes than the cell (water moves into the cell)
electrolye charged molecules dissolved in water that conduct an electrical current
filtration water moves by hydrostatic pressure
