The diffusion of solutes in water can be described with a simplified version of ficks law using the molecular diffusion coefficient in free water, d w, which accounts for temperature and mass. In the body fluids the molecules of water, gases, and the ions. The dissimilarity in the amounts of solutes, particles, or molecules between the two regions will cause them to move between the two regions.
