Mannitol is a sugar that does not pass through the walls of blood capillaries in the brain (does not cross the "bloodbrain barrier," as described in chapter 7). It also does not cross the walls of kidney tubules, the structures that transport blood filtrate to become urine (see chapter 17). Explain why mannitol can be described as osmotically active. How might its clinical administration help to prevent swelling of the brain in head trauma? Also, explain the effect it might have on the water content of urine.
