Acinar cells secrete a isotonic mixture of saliva which then gets modified through the ductal cells to produce a hypotonic saliva compared to plasma with a high K+ and HCO3- concentration. HOWEVER, at high flow rates the saliva actually resembles plasma (isotonic) because there wasn't enough to modify the saliva.
What else can I help you with?
Is saliva hypotonic to blood plasma?
Blood or Blood Plasma would be Isotonic to cell plasma.
Is urine always hyper tonic to the blood plasma?
It depends. If the body is dehydrated, it will produce highly concentrated (hypertonic) urine in order to conserve water from the blood stream. If your blood is hypotonic (contains excess water), then the kidneys will release hypotonic urine, to reduce the amount of water in the blood. Therefore, if you are dehydrated, the urine is considered hypertonic to the blood. If not, the urine is hypotonic to the blood.
What would be the effect of fluid between plasma and red blood cellsof someone using a hypotonic saline?
A hypotonic infusion will cause (all) the cells to swell. If they swell enough, they burst.
Why does the filtrate become hypotonic?
The filtrate becomes hypotonic because during filtration in the nephron, water and small solutes are pushed through the glomerular membrane into the renal tubules. This process results in a dilute solution with lower solute concentration compared to the blood plasma.
Why always gas can change into plasma?
because the plasma is gas
Is vomitting is hpertonic?
i don't think it is always hypertonic it may be isotonic or hypotonic also
What is hypotonic urine?
Hypotonic urine refers to urine with a lower concentration of solutes compared to the blood plasma. This means that there is a higher water content in the urine relative to the solute concentration. It can be a result of various conditions affecting the kidneys' ability to concentrate urine effectively.
Does saliva consist of blood clotting factors?
I'm not going to get into the nitty-gritty specifics of the explanation, but I can say that yes, saliva does contain some of the blood clotting factors found in normal blood plasma.
Does Water always moves from a hypertonic solution into a hypotonic one?
Yes, water will always move from a hypertonic solution (higher solute concentration) to a hypotonic solution (lower solute concentration) in an attempt to equalize the solute concentration on both sides of the membrane. This process is known as osmosis.
Is salt hypotonic?
Yes salt is hypotonic.
Where can one watch the music video for Always by Saliva?
