leresis

Example:Exposure to a hypertonic environment can lead to cellular leresis, causing cell death.

Definition:A specific condition where the plasma membrane of a cell ruptures due to excessive water influx through osmosis.

Example:Pathological leresis in the kidney can result from dehydration and may lead to kidney failure if not managed promptly.

Definition:A pathological condition where cells undergo membrane rupture due to exposure to a hypertonic solution, leading to cellular damage.

Example:Osmotic leresis can be observed in red blood cells when placed in a solution with a higher solute concentration.

Definition:A form of leresis where the rupture of cells is caused by osmotic imbalance, typically when a cell is placed in a hypertonic environment.
