.Bodylight.Osmotic.Components.Membrane .Bodylight.Osmotic.Components.MembraneThe main element of osmotic phenomena is a semipermeable membrane, which generates the flow of penetrating substances together with water. The connector on both sides is composed of molar concentration of non-penetrating solutes (osmolarity), and from penetrating volumetric flow (osmotic flux). Flow through the membrane depends on a pressure gradient, where pressure on both sides is calculated from the osmotic and hydraulic component.
