Readers of the physiological literature may be excused if they feel that fluid transport has become a complex and confusing field that is difficult to understand and to assess. The major theories of fluid-transporting epithelia are examined here with respect to their ability to explain quasi-isotonic fluid transport and its modulation by salt transport, osmotic permeability and basal tonicity. The basics of each theory are set out concisely, and their pros and cons are made explicit. Finally, a comparison is made in table form indicating their overall performance in relation to the problems of this difficult but important field.
如果生理文献的读者觉得液体运输已成为一个复杂且令人困惑、难以理解和评估的领域，那也是情有可原的。本文将研究液体运输上皮的主要理论，看它们在解释准等渗液体运输及其受盐运输、渗透通透性和基础张力调节方面的能力。每个理论的基础都进行了简要阐述，并明确了其优缺点。最后，以表格形式进行比较，说明它们在这个困难但重要的领域中针对各种问题的总体表现。
