Diffusion - ...(ANSWERS)....Movement of molecules from an area of higher
concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Osmosis - ...(ANSWERS)....movement of fluid from an area of lower solute
concentration to a higher concentration
Filtration - ...(ANSWERS)....water and solute movement occurs from an area of
high hydrostatic pressure to an area of low hydrostatic pressure
,Osmolality - ...(ANSWERS)....the number of osmotically active particles per kg of
water
Hypertonic - ...(ANSWERS)....osmolality greater than 300.
Hypotonic - ...(ANSWERS)....osmolality less than 300.

An isotonic solution - ...(ANSWERS)....0.09% normal saline
Interferons (IFNs) - ...(ANSWERS)....type of cytokine that signals cells to increase
anti-viral defenses.
- are released by cells that are infected with a virus, causing other cells to become
resistant to the virus
- play a role in tumor suppression
Hypervolemia - ...(ANSWERS)....fluid volume overload

accumulation
,Causes of edema include: - ...(ANSWERS)....-Increased hydrostatic (water)
pressure
- Manifestation: High BP and pitting edema
