Irregularly shaped blood cells can cause problems with clotting and proper blood flow. Think of the sickle cell disease. Although you're asking about irregularly sized and not irregularly shaped blood cells, I would assume that similar problems would occur. If the blood cells were too large to allow proper and free movement I should think that clotting and the risks/pains associated with abnormal blood clotting could occur. It really depends on how large we're talking.

What would happen if you touched a single white blood cell?
Nothing would happen as it would just go onto your skin
What will happen if distilled water is hypotonic to a red blood cell?
The red blood cell would swell because more water would pass in than it would pass out.
What happen to blood cell in 10 percent NaCL?
A 10% NaCl solution is hypertonic to a blood cell and would cause the cell to shrink, aka crenation.
What would happen to blood cells that do not produce enough insulin compared to a normal cell?
blood cells die
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 would happen to a red blood cell if placed in distilled water without any solution?
no
What would happen to your cell if a hypertonic solution was injected directly to your blood stream?
The cell will shrinks as the fluid inside the cell will flow out due to osmosis.
What would happen if you to red blood cells if you give a pure water IV?
Fluids entering the blood stream should be isotonic (same salt concentration) as the blood. Water is hypotonic to the cell environment (contains fewer solutes) and this would result in a net movement of water into the cell, causing the cell to swell and lyse (burst).
How does gas exchange happen in capillary blood vessels?
It is because the capillary wall is only one-cell-thick. In addition, they have a large total surface area in contact with body cell and the blood flow is low.
What would happen to a eukaryotic cell if it did not have nucleus?
Like a red blood cell - it could exist for a while (about 90 days for a RBC).
What would happen if a cell face gets large?
i really dont know! help!! LOL
What would happen if you had a cell in the water and molecules were in the cell and some were out the cell what would most likely happen after a period of time?
