What is the effect of isotonic saline solution on RBC?

Isotonic saline solution has no net effect on red blood cells (RBCs) as it has the same osmolarity as blood. This means that RBCs will neither shrink (crenate) nor swell (lyse) when placed in isotonic saline solution. The solution maintains the normal shape and function of the RBCs.


What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 90 percent NaCI?

9% NaCl is a hypertonic saline solution. Red blood cells will appear to shrink as they lose water out of the cell membrane and into the saline solution.


What type of solution is saline solution?

Saline is a homogenous solution of salt in water.


Which are isotonic?

Isotonic solution is a solution in which the concentration of solutes is essentially equal to that of cytosol of the cell placed in that solution. There is no net osmotic pressure on a membrane placed between 2 isotonic solutions.


Can twice normal saline increase or decrease saltiness of the interstitial fluid?

Twice normal saline contains a higher concentration of salt compared to normal saline. When administered, it can increase the saltiness of the interstitial fluid by adding more salt to the body. This can lead to hypernatremia and potentially impact the salt balance in the body.


Is eye wash distilled water?

Eye wash is usually sterile saline solution so that it does not burn or sting when placed on the eye.


How do we make hyper tonic hypo tonic and isotopic solutions using blood and seline?

To make hypertonic solution, add more solute (such as salt) to blood or saline to increase osmotic pressure. To make hypotonic solution, dilute blood or saline by adding more water. To make isotonic solution, keep the concentration of solutes in blood or saline equal to that of the solution to which it is being compared.


Is saline solution a basic?

No, saline solution is not a basic solution. It is a neutral solution composed of a mixture of sodium chloride (salt) and water.
