isotonic. isotonic: a solution in which the solute and solvent are equally distributed–a cell normally wants to remain in an isotonic solution, where the concentration of the liquid inside of it equals the concentration of the liquid outside of it.

Isotonic solution: A solution that has the same salt concentration as cells and blood.

isotonic solution. water concentration is the same inside and outside of the cell= no movement, a solution having the same osmotic pressure as blood.

A solution with a higher concentration of solutes than the cell. Hypotonic. A solution with a lower concentration of solutes than the cell. Isotonic. A solution with the same concentration of solutes as the cell.

Common examples of isotonic solutions are 0.9% normal saline and lactated ringers. These fluids are useful when the patient has lost fluid volume from blood loss, trauma, or dehydration due to excessive nausea/vomiting or diarrhea.

In comparing two solutions of unequal solute concentration, the solution with the higher solute concentration is hypertonic, and the solution with the lower solute concentration is hypotonic. Solutions of equal solute concentration are isotonic.

Isotonic Exercise. Same tension; Exercise carried out against a load (constant or vaiable) while the muscle shortens or elongates through the available range (velocity = variable); Used to increase dynamic strength, muscle endurance and power; May be performed with manual or mechanical resistance.

An isotonic solution refers to the state when two solutions have equal concentration of solutes across a semipermeable membrane. This state allows for the free movement of water without the dilution of solutes on either side and keeps cells functioning properly.

Isotonic Definition. Isotonic is a term used to describe solutions and chemistry and, sometimes, muscles in human biology. In chemistry, a solution is said to be isotonic when it has the same concentration of solutes as another solution across a semipermeable membrane. The use of isotonic in human anatomy is used more rarely.

1. Isotonic Of a fluid that exerts the same OSMOTIC PRESSURE as another, especially as that of the body fluids. Body cells, such as red blood cells, can be immersed in an Isotonic solution without being caused to change shape

Isotonic Solution Definition. An isotonic solution is one that has the same osmolarity, or solute concentration, as another solution. If these two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane, water will flow in equal parts out of each solution and into the other.

Isotonic IV fluids are often given to a patient to hydrate them. Normal saline fluids are given in conjunction with blood transfusions. The most common type of isotonic fluids are 0.9% sodium chloride solutions.
