membrane is selectively permeable‚ so only necessary materials are let into the cell and wastes are left out.[8] The word ’osmosis’ is particular to the diffusion of water molecules into the cell. 2.) What is Osmotic Pressure? Osmotic pressure is the hydrostatic pressure produced by a solution in a space divided by a semipermeable membrane due to a differential in the concentrations of solute. Osmotic potential is the opposite of water potential with the former meaning the degree to

Objective: Use cuff manometry to measure arterial blood pressure. Questions: 1. My blood pressure for this lab was 123/78. These numbers are normal‚ compared to the normal rating of 120/80. My pulse pressure was 45 (SP – DP). My mean arterial pressure was 93 (DP + 1/3 (SP – DP). 2. Mean arterial blood pressure is determined by cardiac output and total vascular resistance. The mathematical equation for mean arterial blood pressure is equal to cardiac output x total vascular resistance. The amount
