Having or indicating, equal tones, or tension.
Having an osmotic pressure (tonicity) equal to that of a reference solution; -- of aqueous solutions. Contrasting with hypotonic and hypertonic. See hypertonic.
characterized by equal osmotic pressure denoting or having to do with a solution containing just enough salt to prevent the destruction of the red corpuscles when added to the blood. (pH of the body is slightly alkaline 7.4). A solvent that is isotonic with a solution will not pass through semipermeable membrane and mix with the solution. (equal tones).
means having equal concentration.
A situation in which the concentration of solutes in a solution is equivalent to what it contains. There is no concentration gradient in isotonic solutions and no net flow of solutes or water.
isotonic solution. Refers to solutions that have equal osmotic pressure.
Solution with same osmotic pressure as plasma. Compare hypertonic and hypotonic.
Of equal tone, tension, or activity. An isotonic saline solution refers to concentration of solutes such as the blood. In isotonic muscular contraction, the muscle remains under relatively constant tension while its length changes. For example, with arm bent and muscle bulging.
A solution with an osmolarity that does not result in water movement across cell membranes.
Solutions with the same osmotic pressure.
having equal tension or tone; having equal osmotic pressure between two different solutions or two elements in a solution
two solutions having the same concentrations of solutes.
A contraction in which muscle tension increases, and the muscle shortens (sliding filament theory) as it overcomes the resistance.
Having the same solute concentration; said of two solutions. (Contrast with hypertonic, hypotonic.)
Movement against a movable force; dynamic; a muscle contraction in which the tension increases while the muscle length changes (concentric: muscle shortens; eccentric: muscle lengthens).
muscle contraction where tension is equal throughout the range of motion.
relating to or characterized by the equal intervals of the well-tempered scale; "isotonic tuning"
of or involving muscular contraction in which tension is constant while length changes
of two or more muscles; having equal tension
Constant loading of a muscle, with variable velocity.
having approximately the same osmolality of the comparison solution.
A solution that causes no change in the state or tone of cells for example red blood cells when they are stored in DGV storage solution.
ice-o-TON-ik When solute concentration is the same on both sides of a membrane. 88
A muscle contraction without an appreciable change in muscle tension, where the muscle fibre length shortens.
Relating to isotonicity or isotonia. Having equal tension; denoting solutions possesing the same osmotic pressure; more specifically, limited to situations in which cells can neither swell nor shrink.
having the same salt concentration as blood.
Term applied to two solutions with equal solute concentrations.
having the same solute concentration as another solution, thus exerting the same osmotic pressure as the other solution.
Of equal osmotic pressure.
A type of muscle contraction in which the muscle generates force against a constant resistance resulting in movement, such as curling a 40-pound barbell.
Two aqueous solutions are considered isotonic is they have the same concentration of solutes. Contrast hypertonic.
Similar solute concentration as another fluid
