What is an istonic solution?
has the same concentration as intracellular fluid. Consider a red blood cell (RBC) placed in an isotnic solution. Because the solution is isotonic, no net movement of water occurs; the cell neither gains nor loses water.
What is tonicity?
the ability of a solution to affect the volume and pressure within a cell
Hypotonic solution?
If an red blood cell (RBC) is placed in pure water (a solution containing no solute), water moves into the cell by osmosis (from where there is more water to where there is less)
What is a possible complication of a hypotonic solution?
can cause red blood cells (RBC) to burst
Hypertonic solution?
If a red blood cell (RBC) is placed within a very concentrated salt solution, water diffuses out of the red blood cell (RBC) into the bathing solution, causing the RBC to shrink, or crenate. The salt solution is referred to as a hypertonic solution.
