Hypertonic blood occurs when there is an elevated concentration of solutes, such as sodium, in the bloodstream. This condition leads to the movement of water out of cells, causing them to shrink, which can disrupt normal cellular function. It often results in dehydration of cells and can lead to complications such as increased blood pressure, headaches, and in severe cases, confusion or seizures. Proper management typically involves addressing the underlying cause and restoring fluid balance.
What else can I help you with?
Is 10gdL of NaCl hypertonic in blood?
It is hypertonic.
What type of solution is hypertonic?
Hypertonic solutions cause cells to lose water.
Would hypertonic or hypotonic blood serum cause hemolysis?
If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse. If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate. So hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells lyse.
Crenation occurs when blood is placed in a?
hypertonic solution
Is NaCl 150mM hypertonic to blood?
no, It's isotonic.
What solution cause cell to shrink?
hypertonic :)
Which solution would most likely cause a plant placed in it to become firmer and more rigid?
hypertonic
Which blood vessel is blood plasma the most hypertonic to distilled water?
hepatic portal vein
What solution causes crenation of the red blood cell?
In a hypotonic solution, red blood cells swell and undergo hemolysis, while in a hypertonic solution, they lose water and undergo crenation.
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 would happen if an injected solution were hypertonic to your blood?
If an injected solution is hypertonic to your blood, it means that the solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the blood plasma. This would lead to water moving out of your blood cells into the surrounding hypertonic solution to balance the solute concentrations, causing the blood cells to shrink or crenate. This can disrupt normal cellular functions and potentially lead to dehydration of tissues and adverse physiological effects.
Which suspension would contain red blood cells that would appear wrinkled and reduced in volume?
A hypertonic suspension would cause red blood cells to appear wrinkled and reduced in volume. This is because in a hypertonic solution, there is a higher concentration of solutes outside the red blood cells compared to inside, leading to water leaving the cells and causing them to shrink and lose their usual shape.
