Cell Volume Control
نویسنده
چکیده
There are many organic ions inside the cell which do not leak out of the cell membrane. This creates excess osmotic pressure for the inside of the cell. Since the membrane is permeable to water and is not mechanically strong enough to withstand significant osmotic pressure differences, the cell cannot maintain its volume and will tend to burst. Depending on the organism, there are three ways to tackle this problem.

Stereological Estimation of Granule Cell Number and Purkinje Cell Volume in the Cerebellum of Noise-Exposed Young Rat
In spite of the existing reports on behavioural and biochemical changes related to the cerebellum due to noise stress, not much is known about the effect of noise stress on the neuronal changes in the cerebellum. The present study aims at investigating the effects from one week noise exposure on granule cell number and Purkinje cell volume within the neonate rat cerebellum.15-day-old male Wista...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Coupled Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in a Rectangular Domain at Moderate Reynolds Numbers using the Control Volume Method
In this paper, we have used a control volume method to investigate the problem of a fully coupled fluid flow with heat transfer in a rectangular domain with slip wall boundary conditions. We have used this method to solve the governing equations and thereby to compute the convective and diffusive fluxes at the cell faces of the control volumes considered around the grid points of computational ...
