Is 10 percent NaCl hypertonic or hypotonic to red blood cells?
It is hypotonic.
How will you describe the sequence of oxygen carbon and blood flow?
Oxygen in & carbon dioxide out. The change occurs within the cells and blood carries the gasses between the lungs and the cells.
What solution has the same salt concentration as blood and is used for transfussion?
When giving an iso-osmotic transfusion you do not want a solution that has the same salt concentration as blood but rather has the same tonicity(osmotic pressure). This is crucial because if the tonicity of blood changes it can cause cells to burst or shrink depending on the direction of change of the tonicity. So in the case of iso-osmotic transfusion you would give a 0.9% solution of NaCl. To prove that this is iso-osmotic to blood(close to 300 mosm) look below: 0.9% means 0.9gNaCl/100ml= 9gNaCl/L=(9gNaCl/L)*(1mole/58.5g)= 0.153moles/L Osmolarity = molarity*(number of ions)=0.153Molar*2= 0.306 osm = 306 mosm Hope that helps
How will you describe the sequence of oxygen carbon-dioxide and blood flow?
Oxygen in & carbon dioxide out. The change occurs within the cells and blood carries the gasses between the lungs and the cells.
How will you describe the sequences of oxygen carbon dioxide and blood flow?
Oxygen in & carbon dioxide out. The change occurs within the cells and blood carries the gasses between the lungs and the cells.
What type of tonicity will draw water from red blood cells or Elodea cells?
Salt/Salt Water
What does EOS percent mean in blood work?
The EOS percent is the percent of white blood cells in the blood. The eosinophil count is used when testing for Allergies.
Which term describe the difference in the concentrations of a substance across a cells membrane?
Tonicity best fits the single word you are looking for. One side is hypertonic and the other will be hypotonic.
What percentage of red blood cells in a sample of human blood is normally about?
5.72 million red blood cells per microliter (mcL) of blood for men and 5.03 million per mcL for women. In healthy men, 41 percent to 50 percent of blood is red blood cells. In healthy women, 35 percent to 46 percent is red blood cells
What percent of blood is white blood cells?
15%
What percent of blood is all the blood cells together?
45%
What percent is of the blood is composed of red blood cells.?
40%
What percent is the blood composed of red blood cells?
40%
What role does the cell wall play in tonicity?
gives shape to plant cells
What percent of blood is red and white blood cells and platelets?
2%
What cells describe blood?
It is mostly made of plasma.
What are the solid particles of the blood identify and describe each?
Blood cells and plateletes
