Key takeaways

Osmolality wings cartoon: how sodium and glucose, plus blood urea nitrogen (BUN), keep blood osmolality balanced, explained with a memorable toon.

osmolality - osmolarity - osmosis - serum - blood - sodium - BUN - glucose
Phartoonz

Blood osmolality is kept under control by three substances  🙂 ,

two of them are mentioned in our Toon :angel:

as you can see up there  :whistle: ,we have a blood vessel that is full blood & life :happy: … and Yes it flying like a bird smiley-vault-misc-132!!… notice that 2 wings are spraying 2 white magical substances  :happy: …both of them are important in maintaing the blood osmolality 🙂 ;

Sugar

1-Sugar ( referring to Glucose 😉 ) & 2- Salt ( referring to sodium 😉 )

just like a bird needs to balance on two wings to fly normally animals-24 … Our body also needs to balance on normal sodium & glucose concentrations in order to maintain it’s optimum osmolality mood-emoticon-0118

Q: what about the third substance :whistle: ?

Answer: No.3 is Urea “BUN” 🙂 , It’s also important for balancing the osmolality of Our blood 🙂

Tip

The blood osmolality identifies how much blood urea nitrogen, glucose, and sodium are dissolved in Our serum
