A hypertonic solution will cause the cell to shrink as water leaves the intracellular fluid due to osmosis. A hypotonic solution will lead to water crossing into the cell membrane, causing it to swell, leading to hemolysis.

Breakdown of recipient's red blood cells when incompatible bloods are mixed?
agglutination
What type of tonicity will draw water from red blood cells or Elodea cells?
Salt/Salt Water
When blood is collected from patient serum should be separated from cells as quickly as possible to avoid?
hemolysis
What is the purpose of stabbing into the blood agar?
Streak stab is most commonly used when inoculating blood agar with hemolytic bacteria. The stabs expose the bacteria to a greater surface area of blood cells and will enhance the hemolysis effect.
Why is saline drip better than water for blood?
Water will just diffuse inside the blood cells because there is a higher concentration of blood outside the cell now. This will cause hemolysis. Basically, the blood cells will burst open. However, saline will not diffuse through the blood cells.
What are effects of toxicity on hemolysis of red blood cells?
Hemolysis is the breakdown of red blood cells.
What effects does a hemotoxin snake venom have on blood?
Hemotoxin snake venom leads to hemolysis which is destruction of the red blood cells.
What is severe hemolysis?
Hemolysis is when the red blood cells break open.
What is the meaning of hemolysis?
Insufficient red blood cells
What is the destruction of red blood cells that results in the liberation of hemoglobin?
Hemolysis is the destruction of red blood cells or Erythrocytes with a release of hemoglobin that diffuses into the surrounding fluid.
Breakdown of recipient's red blood cells when incompatible bloods are mixed?
agglutination
What is the medical term meaning destruction of red blood cells?
Hemolysis is the breakdown of red blood cells. = hemo (blood/hemacyte) + lysis (to separate/breaking down of/destruction)
Difference between alpha and beta hemolysis?
Hemolysis occurs when red blood cells rupture and really cytoplasm into surrounding fluid. Many species of Streptococcal bacteria cause hemolysis and are classified based on their properties. Alpha hemolysis oxidizes iron in hemoglobin, while beta hemolysis completely ruptures red blood cells.
What type of tonicity will draw water from red blood cells or Elodea cells?
Salt/Salt Water
When red blood cells draws in water and bursts it is said to undergo?
hemolysis
What ruptures red blood cells and bursts vessels?
It's called cytolysis when cells burst open. Hemolysis is a type of cytolysis, referring to the bursting of red blood cells.Read more: What_is_the_term_for_when_a_cell_ruptures_or_bursts
Does 2 percent NaCl cause crenation or hemolysis in red blood cells?
crenation
