Sinopsis

Cell volume regulation is of importance to animal cells, since swelling or shrinkage results in cell death. Osmotic pertubation confronts the cells with the problem of volume regulation, because most animal cell membrane are highly permeable to water. A number of cellular physiological activities are associated with osmotic perturbation to cells.

Hardbound. Cell volume regulation is of fundamental importance to animal cells, since persistent swelling or shrinkage results in cell death. Osmotic perturbation confronts the cells withthe problem of volume regulation, because most animal cell membrane are highly permeable to water.A number of cellular physiological activities are associated with osmotic perturbation to cells. Those include active solute uptake by enterocytes, renal tubular cells or hepatocytes, fluid and electrolyte secretion by glandular cells, cell mitogenesis or proliferation, cell differentiation, hormonal action on hepatocytes, lymphocytes or cardiac myocytes, excitation in neurons, and glutamate receptor activation in brain neurons or glial cells. Also, in kidney medulla and intestinal tissues, not only epithelial cells but also blood and mesenchymal cells may be subject to osmotic stress induced by increased extracellular osmolality.Under pathological conditions, cel
