The vaccine would move throughout your body. Your immune system would attack it and produce antibodies. Antibodies will always be in your body for when the real deal gets into your system. They will immediately attack the real virus and get it out of your body.
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of less concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from an are of less concentration of molecules or particles to an area of higher concentration of molecules or particles.
Passive transport is the movement of particles across the cell membrane. Passive transport does not require energy from the cell. Facilitated transport requires protein channels to move the particles across the membrane.

injections for tetanus are intramuscular so it goes into muscle tissue first

both describe when there is movement from a high area of concentration to a a lower area of concentration (often across a semi permeable membrane) - we use the word osmosis when we are talking about water doing this - diffusion is the word used for everything else

diffusion is a form of passive transport - it does not require putting energy into the system

A vaccine would spread via your blood vessels, and antibodies would find it and all of that mentioned above. Osmosis= water diffussion. diffusion= passive transport. osmosis is a type of passive transport.

Osmosis is a type of diffusion--- it only deals w/ the movement of water molecules.

osmosis is water diffusion, and diffuses into the area with more solutes. Diffusion deals with solutes, and diffuses into the srea with less solutes.
passive transport needs channel proteins, while diffusion does not.

particular, yet there will be no internet flow. considering the fact that the two recommendations are isotonic, there will be no significant exchange on the two section. Molecules are continually in action, so technically osmosis will happen yet as one molecule crosses the membrane in one direction, yet another will in the different direction and it evens out.
