Isotonic solution

One having osmotic pressure equal to that of blood.


A solution with an osmotic pressure equal to that of protoplasm.


A solution which has the same osmotic pressure as blood serum, or as another liquid it is compared with.


Solution with an osmolality similar to plasma; 290-300 mOsm/kg of water.


One that has the same osmotic pressure as a standard (reference) solution.


A solution that has a concentration of electrolytes, nonelectrolytes, or both that will exert osmotic pressure equivalent to that of the solution with which it is being compared. Either 0.16 molar sodium chloride solution (approx. 0.95% salt in water) or 0.3 molar nonelectrolyte solution is approx, isotonic with human red blood cells.


A solution with a concentration equivalent to that of another solution it’s being compared to.
