During hot weather, deep lakes and oceans remain cool because heat generated by sunlight can be dissipated by evaporation of surface water. Water is transported across cell membranes in one of two ways: 1. by simple diffusion through the phospholipid bilayer and 2. by the action of membrane-spanning transport proteins known as aquaporins. Thus, the concentration of water is in thermodynamic equilibrium across the cell membrane. In the renal collecting duct, water is reabsorbed through a specific aquaporin channel protein (aquaporin 2).

The resolution of anatomical structures is achieved by virtue of different relaxation times of hydrogen nuclei in different tissues. Differences in relaxation time reflect gross chemical characteristics, including fat content, degree of hydration, and presence of paramagnetic substances. Proton density is also an important parameter in determining the intensity of an image, so that soft tissues as well as bone can readily be visualized, making the technique superior to x-ray and other methods of imaging the brain and other soft tissues.
