    Body fluids are maintained at a constant level by several homeostatic mechanisms: Osmosis- is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane known as a plasma membrane. Water is highly polar it is repelled by the lipid core (nonpolar) of the plasma membrane but can easily pass through the aquaporins created by the proteins in the membrane‚ so osmosis is happening all the time as water moves into and out of cells. Diffusion- Is where ions move away from an area where they are
