Alasotonic
Definition
Pertaining to the tonicity or osmotic pressure specific to a saline solution; characterized by the structural balance between the salt concentration of an external liquid medium and that of internal cellular fluids, preventing cellular dehydration or membrane rupture. In a molecular physiological sense, the term describes the property of a mineral solution to maintain constant the osmotic pressure of living tissues exposed to interactions with sodium or chloride ions.
