jects a patlent with What the doctor thinks Is an saline solution. The patient dies, and an autopsy reveals that many red blood cells have been destroyed. Do you think the solution the doctor injected was really isotonic? No, it must have been hypertonic, which caused water to leave the cells. No, it must have been hypertonic, which caused water to enter the cells. No, it must have been hypotonic, which caused water to leave the cells. Yes, it was probably isotonic and the patient died from something else. No, it must have been hypotonic, which caused water to enter the cells.

Figure 3.22 A doctor injects a patient with what he thinks is isotonic saline solution. The patient dies, and autopsy reveals that many red blood cells have been destroyed. Do you think the solution the doctor injected was really isotonic?
If a doctor injected a patient with what was labeled as an isotonic saline solution, but then the patient died, and an autopsy revealed that several of the patient's red blood cells had burst, such as in the image on the right, would it be true that the injected solution was really isotonic? Why or why not?
Maribel has a beautiful saltwater aquarium at her house. One day, a new and inexperienced salesperson at the pet store sold her a goldfish from the freshwater tank. When Maribel placed the fish in her aquarium, it was not able to survive. What type of environment would the saltwater solution be (hypertonic, isotonic, or hypotonic) to the cell of the fish? How did you say so? Why do you think freshwater fish will not survive if placedin saltwater?

A patient has had a serious accident and lost a lot of blood. In an attempt to replenish body fluids, a large amount of distilled water was transferred directly into one of his veins. What will be the most probable result of this transfusion? It will have serious, perhaps fatal, consequences because the red blood cells will be hypertonic relative to the body fluids and the cells will burst. It will have serious, perhaps fatal, consequences because the red blood cells will be hypotonic relative to the body fluids and the cells will shrivel. It will have no unfavorable effect as long as the water is free of viruses and bacteria. It will have no serious effect because the kidneys would quickly eliminate the excess water. It will have serious, perhaps fatal, consequences because there will be too much fluid for the heart to pump.
