Osmosis explained: how solutes and osmolarity help fluid move in the body. An understanding of osmosis can help you understand how IV fluids work, such as isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions.
In osmosis, high water (low solutes) flows to an area of low water (high solutes).
Osmolarity is the amount of solutes within specified fluid volume.
