What type of solution causes shrinkage of submerged red blood cells?
Hypertonic
Is pure water hypertonic to red blood cells?
Yes, because there is no sodium in the solution.
A solution containing a higher concentration of dissolved substances than the cell is termed?
There are two types of solutions categorized by solute concentration. If the solution has a higher saline concentration than the erythrocytes (red blood cells) it is said to be hypertonic. If the opposite is true the solution is then hypotonic.
What type of solution causes water to shift from the cells into the plasma?
hypertonic
What are the examples of hypertonic solutions with their effects?
Saline solution with a highter concentration the 0.9% are hypertonic as are soutions that contain 10% dextrose. Combinations of hypertonic solutions are 0.9% NACl with 5% Dextrose or higher. These solutions when given IV will draw fluid out of the cells or intersticial tissues and into the blood stream then ideally will be forced through the kidneys into the urine for evacuation. If a person has overhydration, or edema a hypertonic solution may be used to draw it out.
What type of solution causes shrinkage of submerged red blood cells?
Hypertonic
What is the effect of the salt solution on the red blood cells in hyper tonic?
Red blood cells in a hypertonic solution will shrink. This occurs as water moves out of the red blood cell.
What is a hypertonic solution in a cell?
Hypertonic solution: A solution with a higher sailt concentration than in normal cells of the body and the blood. As opposed to an isotonic isolution or a hypotonic solution. Follow medicine dictionary.

What cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to?
Cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to ___
Is 10 percent NaCl isotonic hypertonic or hypotpnic to red blood cells?
A hypotonic solution will be anything with less than 0.9% salt.
What type of solution is hypertonic?
Hypertonic solutions cause cells to lose water.
What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 90 percent NaCI?
9% NaCl is a hypertonic saline solution. Red blood cells will appear to shrink as they lose water out of the cell membrane and into the saline solution.
Rupture of red blood cells placed in a hypertonic solution is called?
Yes, and this can cause the cell to explode. This is not life threatening however, because we have skin cells to protect us.
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
A solution that is higher in concentration than living cells is called?
