Adaptation-mountain lion can climb up and down trees. The cougar can also jump up cliffs that are up to 18 ft. tall as well cover ground with incredible speed and grace. It has a distinctive call midway between a cough or a snarl. Despite its large size it is incapable of roaring.
The serum or plasma osmolality is a measure of the different solutes in plasma. Among other applications, serum osmolality is indicated to evaluate the etiology of hyponatremia and may be used to screen for alcohol intoxication by means of the osmolal gap.
Urine osmolality is an index of the concentration of osmotically active particles, particularly chloride, sodium, urea, and potassium; glucose can also add significantly to the osmolality when it is abundant in urine. In a healthy state, the specific gravity of the urine corresponds to the urine osmolality. An evaluation of the osmolality, either routinely or under artificial conditions, indicates the kidneyâs ability to maintain tonicity and water balance of the extracellular fluid.
