  2. Hypotonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotonia

    Hypotonia is a state of low muscle tone [1] (the amount of tension or resistance to stretch in a muscle), often involving reduced muscle strength. Hypotonia is not a specific medical disorder, but a potential manifestation of many different diseases and disorders that affect motor nerve control by the brain or muscle strength.

  3. Hypotonic hyponatremia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotonic_hyponatremia

    Hypoosmolar hyponatremia is a condition where hyponatremia is associated with a low plasma osmolality. [1] The term "hypotonic hyponatremia" is also sometimes used.[2]When the plasma osmolarity is low, the extracellular fluid volume status may be in one of three states: low volume, normal volume, or high volume.

    In forming or understanding a word root, one needs a basic comprehension of the terms and the source language.The study of the origin of words is called etymology.For example, if a word was to be formed to indicate a condition of kidneys, there are two primary roots – one from Greek (νεφρός nephr(os)) and one from Latin (ren(es)).

  8. Tonicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonicity

    In plant cells the terms isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic cannot strictly be used accurately because the pressure exerted by the cell wall significantly affects the osmotic equilibrium point. [5] Some organisms have evolved intricate methods of circumventing hypertonicity. For example, saltwater is hypertonic to the fish that live in it.

    The contractile vacuole is a specialized type of vacuole that regulates the quantity of water inside a cell.In freshwater environments, the concentration of solutes is hypotonic, lower outside than inside the cell.
