(n.) The transmission of a fluid or gas from without inward in the phenomena, or by the process, of osmose.
Example Sentences:
(1) After distilled water treatment, the epithelium is severely swollen and at some places completely desquamated from the lamellae, leaving only the blood capillaries and supporting pilasler cells, due to endosmosis.
(2) pCMPS specifically increases the hydraulic resistance to exosmosis, but does not influence endosmosis.
(3) By contrast, nonyltriethylammonium (C9), a blocking agent of K+ channels, increases the hydraulic resistance to endosmosis, but does not affect that to exosmosis.
Exosmosis
Definition:
(n.) See Exosmose.
Example Sentences:
(1) The excess of salt causes exosmosis resulting in death of the fishes.
(2) pCMPS specifically increases the hydraulic resistance to exosmosis, but does not influence endosmosis.
(3) By contrast, nonyltriethylammonium (C9), a blocking agent of K+ channels, increases the hydraulic resistance to endosmosis, but does not affect that to exosmosis.
(4) A step change can hence be assumed when modeling exosmosis for determining the lymphocyte membrane permeability.
