|
(equal) have the same concentration of solutes as plasma. Cells will neither shrink nor swell because there is no net gain or loss of water with in the cell, no change in the cell volume
|
|
Hypertonic Pressure
|
have greater concentration of solutes than plasma, water is drawn out of teh cell causing it to shrink
