2. Kidney dialysis machines use osmosis to take over the filtering function of the kidneys. Dialysis machines use a semi-permeable membrane tarough which some small molecules can pass (such as water, salts, metabolites, and somedoxins) but through which larger objects (such as proteins and blood cells) cannot. Using the concepts learned in this lab, explain how dialysis could be used to get toxins out of the blood and replace the filtering function of the kidneys.

1. hyponatraemia occurs when serum sodium levels drop too much. Why do you think drinkingdeionized water would result in low blood sodium levels? (Think about solute diffusion)2. Think back to the concepts we learned in lecture. Explain why low serum sodium levelswould cause water to move into brain cells.3. According to the article, was the individual's excessive water intake related to physiologicalor psychological symptoms? Explain your reasoning4. What could have the individual added to her water to prevent this from happening, and whywould this have prevented hyponatraemia? Incorporate your knowledge of concentrationgradients and diffusion.5. Over-hydration can be treated if caught in its early stages. What do you think would be thequickest way to restore the patient's serum sodium levels?

8.Patients who enter the emergency room dehydrated are usually given sterile saline solution intravenously. The solution administered is isotonic to prevent cell damage. What would happen if the solution was hypotonic? Group of answer choices A. Hypotonic solutions have a higher osmotic pressure than that within cells so hemolysis can occur B. Hypotonic solutions have a lower osmotic pressure than that within cells so crenation can occur can occur. C. Hypotonic solutions have a lower osmotic pressure than that within cells so hemolysis can occur. D. Hypotonic solutions have the same osmotic pressure as that within cells so nothing will happen. 9.The solubility of CaCl2 in water is135g/100 ml.
