Osmosis means transferring fluids between molecules. This is how osmosis helps to maintain blood volume:
The heart drives water out of capillaries (the smallest blood vessels) by reverse osmosis (capillary filtration). After that, the same water leaves the capillaries by filtration, but this is approximately balanced by water moving back into the capillaries by osmosis. This is how blood volume is constantly maintained in the body.
