Final answer:

Osmosis and dialysis play critical roles in the filtration and cleansing process of blood during hemodialysis.


Explanation:

Osmosis is the transport of water through a semipermeable membrane from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. In dialysis during hemodialysis, excess water moves from the blood into the dialysate fluid, as the osmotic pressure of the blood pushes waste molecules and water through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate for cleansing.
