A solution more dilute than the body fluids.
A solution with a lower osmotic pressure (lesser salt concentration) than a standard solution, usually water or physiological saline hypertonic.
Referring to a solution with a lower osmotic pressure than plasma.
Hypotonic refers to a below normal pressure. A hypotonic solution will exert less osmotic pressure than that of plasma.
Having a lower osmotic pressure than a comparison solution. In reference to muscle tone, having less than normal tension or relaxation; colloq. floppy.
Describing a solution that has a lower osmotic pressure than another solution.
Referring to a solution which has a lower osmotic pressure than another. Physiologically it describes a solution with a lower osmotic pressure than body fluids.
Weaker than the usual strength or tension. The opposite is hypertonic.
