Because it’s the same in all compartments is the body normally isotonic or normotonic. The target for osmoregulation isn’t to regulate the number of osmoles, it’s to regulate the level of water. We have osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus. When the body is hypertonic will water leave the cells and enter the interstitium, causing the cells to shrink. These osmorecep..." Tag: Visual edit
