What would happen to red blood cells in the body if blood lost through injury were replaced with pure water?

Water that is added would tend to equalize the amount of sodium and other substance inside the cell with what is outside the cell. Since the RBCs have more inside them, the pure water would move into the cell. This would cause the RBCs to swell and perhaps burst. The amount of water that is added to the blood would determined if the cells would burst. More pure water, the more likely the cell will burst.

If you place a blood cell in a beaker filled with pure water what would happen?

If a blood cell is placed in a beaker filled with pure water, it will undergo osmosis, leading to the movement of water into the cell. This influx of water causes the cell to swell and can eventually result in the cell bursting, a process known as hemolysis, due to the difference in osmotic pressure between the inside of the cell and the surrounding water.

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).


Why would red blood cells burst if you placed them in pure water?

If distilled water was directly injected into a vein what would happen?

Pure water would reduce the concentration of salts in the blood and cause the breakdown of some blood cells. Intravenous solutions usually contain salt or other compounds (such as dextrose) and should only be slightly hypotonic (for dehydration). If a large amount of water dilutes the blood serum, it can cause edema (fluid buildup) in the tissues of the heart, lungs, and brain.
