37. By adjusting the osmotic pressure so that its cells are always fully inflated the plant is able to withstand great pressure before snapping.

通过调节渗透压而保证细胞的饱和状态，大米草从而经受住了海底的巨大压强。

With less protein in the blood the oncotic pressure falls, which lowers the overall osmotic pressure, which drives water out of the blood vessels and into the tissues, called edema.

血液中白蛋白越少，胶体渗透压下降，降低了总渗透压，使水从血管中渗出，进入组织中，称之为水肿。

The next factor, though, is oncotic pressure; which is a type of osmotic pressure exerted by cells and proteins that can't cross the capillary membrane and therefore tend to attract fluid.

第二个因素是胶体渗透压，是渗透压中的一种，由细胞和蛋白质分子产生；细胞和蛋白质不能透过毛细血管膜，因此能够吸引水分。

Together these ions help regulate your blood's chemistry, maintaining its pH levels and proper osmotic pressure, and allowing other tissues to do their jobs, like making muscles contract and sending action potentials.

这些离子一起有助于调节血液的化学成分，维持其 pH 值水平和适当的渗透压，并允许其他组织完成其工作，例如使肌肉收缩和发送动作电位。

Most of these proteins — like albumin, and alpha and beta globulins — are made by the liver, and do things like balance the osmotic pressure between the blood and surrounding tissues, and transport lipids and ions.

这些蛋白质中的大多数——像白蛋白、α和β球蛋白——是由肝脏制造的，起到平衡血液和周围组织之间渗透压、运输脂质和离子的作用。
