The process of flow of solvent from a solution through a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis. The extra pressure that must be applied on the solution to stop the flow of solvent through the semi-permeable membrane is called osmotic pressure.
osmotic pressure is proportional to the molarity, C of the solution at a given temperature T. Thus:
P = C R T
Here P is the osmotic pressure and R is the gas constant.
Solutions that contain the same concentration of water and solutes as the cell cytoplasm are called isotonic solutions. Cells placed in an isotonic solution will neither shrink nor swell since there is no net gain or loss of water.

Hypertonic solution is a type of solution that has a higher concentration of solutes on the outside of a cell than on the inside of the cell. Water will move out of the cell to the region of higher solute concentration causing the cell to wrinkle or shrivel.

A solution having a lesser concentration of solute inside as compared to outside the cell is called a hypotonic solution. In a hypotonic solution, a cell progressively gains water through endosmosis.

swelling caused by a collection of fluid in the spaces that surround the body's tissues and organs. People taking a lot of salt or salty food experience water retention in tissue cells and intercellular spaces because of osmosis. The resulting puffiness or swelling is called edema.
