plasma
*Water resists ______ changes and allows the body to maintain homeostasis
temperature

OMSOLALITY
Moves from a compartment of low osmolality to one of high osmolality to achieve equal osmolality
Osmotic Diuresis - high levels of blood glucose and ketone bodies increase the osmolality of the glomerular filtrate
hyperglycemia
Concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution is usually denoted by the term, pH
pH = - log[H+]
