n.
Osmose.
n.
The act of passing by osmosis through animal membranes, as in the distribution of poisons, gases, etc., through the body. Unlike absorption, diffusion may go on after death, that is, after the blood ceases to circulate.
a.
Pertaining to, or having the property of, osmose; as, osmotic force.
n.
The study of osmose by means of the osmometer.
a.
Not absorbable; specifically (Physiol.), not capable of absorption; unable to pass by osmosis into the circulating blood; as, the unabsorbable portion of food.
n.
The action produced by this tendency.
n.
The passage of gases, vapors, or liquids thought membranes or porous media from within outward, in the phenomena of osmose; -- opposed to endosmose. See Osmose.
v. t.
To separate, prepare, or obtain, by dialysis or osmose; to pass through an animal membrane; to subject to dialysis.
n.
The transmission of a fluid or gas from without inward in the phenomena, or by the process, of osmose.
n.
The tendency in fluids to mix, or become equably diffused, when in contact. It was first observed between fluids of differing densities, and as taking place through a membrane or an intervening porous structure. The more rapid flow from the thinner to the thicker fluid was then called endosmose, and the opposite, slower current, exosmose. Both are, however, results of the same force. Osmose may be regarded as a form of molecular attraction, allied to that of adhesion.
a.
Capable of passing through animal membranes by osmosis.
