Hydrodynamic forces that typically act in healthy cells maintain fluid osmoregulation by balancing hydrostatic and oncotic pressures. The sodium–potassium pump has a fundamental role in the maintenance of cellular osmoregulation [2]. Functionally, the sodium–potassium pump is regulated by Na+/K+ adenosine triphosphate (ATP)ase, a ubiquitous enzyme that continually uses ATP by pumping 3 Na+ ions out of and importing 2 K+ ions into cells. When a constant sodium gradient is upheld, water molecules cross the plasma membrane by passive diffusion, maintaining dynamic homeostasis.
