Swelling of the cells can occur due to cellular hypoxia which damages the sodium-potassium membrane pump. Cellular swelling is the first symptom of almost all types of injuries to cells.

How do solute concentrations affect the volume of a cell?
IF you dilute an animal cell it will swell (plant cells [with cell walls] are immune).
Why don't potato cells swell and burst when placed in distilled water?
Potatos are plants and they have cell walls.
What is happening when the cell start to swell up with water?
Osmosis is taking place
What childhood disease causes the salivary glands in the jaw to swell dramatically?
Mumps causes salivary glands to swell dramatically.
Are cell walls found in animals?
No, there are no cell walls in animal cell.
What solution that causes a cell to swell cause of osmosis?
Solution causes a cell to swell by osmosis
Does the cell swell?
Putting the cell in a hypotonic solution makes it swell up.

A solution that causes a cell to swell because of osmosis?
hypertonic solution

What causes left shoulder to swell?
what causes the left shoulder to swell
If you place a red blood cell in disstilled water what would happen to the cell And why?
The cell would swell and burst because of the osmotic pressure causes water to move into the cell.
What solution causes a cell to swell?
Any solution with more H2O than inside the cell will cause the cell to swell. Animal cells will burst under a lot of pressure, but plant cells will not, due to the presence of a cell well surrounding the cell. In other words, a hypotonic solution will cause a cell to swell, and a hypertonic solution will cause a cell to shrink. Hypo -> hyper
What is happening with the cells start to swell up with water?
The chemical concentration inside the cell is greater than outside therefore water moves by osmosis into the swell and causes it to swell. If this continues beyond a certain point the cell can lyse (burst).
Solution that causes a cell to swell?
A hypotonic solution will make a cell swell. When the environment is hypotonic to the contents of the cell, it will take on water and swell. When a cell is in a hypertonic solution, it will lose water and shrivel up and/or shrink. When a cell is placed in a isotonic solution, the cell is equal and the same. It will not swell nor shrink. Both hypotonic and hypertonic solutions can kill the cell.
What can cause blood passages to swell?
Infections causes it to swell
