There is some thought that hypertonic saline may have other effects, such as protecting capillary endothelium and reducing expression of inflammatory mediators, etc. Where I work, horses who show up extremely dehydrated (usually due to intestinal lesions) and in shock often receive 1-2L of 7% NaCl as part of aggressive resuscitation, usually ...
Hypertonic vs Hypotonic. Thread starter wizenedone; Start date Jun 1, 2008; This forum made possible ...
Tonicity refers to what the cell does in a certain environment. If the environment is hypertonic, the cell will shrink due to water leaving the cell. Hypotonic means water enters the cell and caused it to expand and possibly explode. Osmolarity refers to the relative concentration of two solutions.
It crosses from the plasma to cells in the body. As far as tonicity, how many meq of sodium and chloride in 0.9NS? 154 meq of each for a total of 308. 0.45NS has 77 of each for a total of 154meq. I remember 300meq for a normal blood osmolality. Technically NS is hypertonic and 1/2NS is hypotonic. The dextrose is used by the body for food.
Vibrio alginolyticus is an alkali-tolerant marine bacterium with an internal salt concentration less than that of its normal surrounding medium With respect to the surrounding medium, are Vibrio hypertonic or hypotonic? Please explain. I need help.
Vibrio alginolyticus is an alkali-tolerant marine bacterium with an internal salt concentration less than that of its normal surrounding medium. A student transported specimens of V. alginolyticus from their original habitat to a basin of fresh water. With reference to their surrounding...
A)hypertonic relative to cell's cytoplasm B)hypotonic relative to cell's cytoplasm C) isotonic relative to cell's cytoplasm D)None of the above ok i know water move from hypo to hyper, and during the day there is lot of transpiration that occur in the underside of the plant.
Actually, it's not the veins but those pesky little red cells that don't like to be exposed to hypotonic solutions. A 5% dextrose or a normal saline solution is hypertonic to blood plasma. The most common solution that I use for giving "water" is D5 and 1/2 NS which is kind to erythrocytes and feeds the brain at the same time.
Hypertonic - means that there is less solute present and therfore more water. Hypotonic - means that there is more solute present and therefore less water. Water always flows from hypotonic to Hypertonic areas. Since water always enters the protozoan, the enviroment is hypotonic to the protozoan.
So normal sweat = hypotonic CF sweat = hypertonic CF-induced inspissated contents = isotonic-----I just realized: if fluid movement is isotonic, it's because the water moves with the Na+, and the process is dependent on the sodium (e.g. aldosterone-induced reabsorption of water or ENaC upregulation in the pancreas secondary to defective CFTR).
