Cellular Fluid Dynamics

Meaning

Cellular fluid dynamics refers to the intricate processes governing the movement, composition, and regulation of water and solutes both inside and outside of individual cells, encompassing the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments. Maintaining the osmotic balance and volume of these fluids is absolutely essential for cellular function, signaling, and overall tissue homeostasis. Hormones like aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) are central regulators of this delicate balance, impacting blood pressure and cellular integrity. Precise fluid balance is a prerequisite for all metabolic processes.
