So, in peritonitis, there is an inflammation of the peritoneum and a build up of fluid/exudate in theabdomen. With this third spacing, fluid is lost to the individual. Isotonic solution makes sense to replace thefluids, colloids, electrolytes, etc... that are lost because of this. However, in theory, couldn't a hypertonicsolution pull this fluid that is into the third space back into the intravascular space?

which of the following is a hypertonic solution (relative to body fluids)? Note: this can occur during a state of dehydration- 500mOsm, 100mOsm, or 300mOsm.
Blood volume must be restored in a person who has lost large amounts of blood due to serious injury. This is often accomplished by infusing isotonic NaCl solution into the blood. Why is this more effective than infusing an isoosmotic solution of a penetrating solute, such as urea?
For the following scenario you must draw the situation depicted, indicate which solution is hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic (as applicable), and then show with arrows which way water will move. Then you must write your response in complete sentences, thoroughly explaining and justifying your arrows. a. Ouch! Sore throat! It is so swollen that it is sore and it is difficult to swallow. And you have an oral presentation today. Better gargle with salt water to reduce the swelling! Explain why this age old technique really works, by using the concept of osmosis.
What is Chorioallantoic Membrane? Differentiate the following: hypotonic solution, isotonic solution and hypertonic solution. Then classify respectively the 3 solutions used in the experiment (experiment is 2 eggs soaked in vinegar for 2 days and 1 day in separate solution per egg, one for water and 1 for super saline solution)
Which of the following will saturate as solute concentration increases? a. Transport of sucrose down its concentration gradient by the carrier protein GLUT2 b. Transport of chloride ions out of the endoplasmic reticulum and into the cytoplasm via a channel protein c. Engulfing of a pathogen by a white blood cell during an immune response d. All of the above
A solution of water and dissolved ions is separated by a selectively permeable membrane that allows the passage of water but not small ions. The concentration of sodium is higher on one side of the membrane than onthe other side. However, there is no net movement of water across the membrane. How is this possible?
When William H. was helping victims after a devastating earthquake in a region not prepared to swiftly set up adequate temporary shelter, he developed severe diarrhea. He was diagnosed as having cholera, a disease transmitted through unsanitary water supplies contaminated by fecal material from infected indiv iduals. The toxin produced by cholera bacteria causes Cl- channels in the lurninal membranes of the intestinal cells to stay open, thereby increasing the secretion of Cl- from the cells into the intestinal tract lumen. By what mechanisms would Na+ and water be secreted into the lumen in conjunction with Cl- secretion? How does this secretory response account for the severe diarrhea that is characteristic of cholera?
a patient is admitted to the hospital and given intravenous (IV) fluids. four hours later, the patient complains that his mouth and eyes feel dry. you notice that he displays signs of dehydration, and when you check his IV, you see that he was given the wrong kind of fluids. were these fluids likely hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic? explain
Secretory vesicles fuse with the cell membrane to release their contents to the outside of the cell. In this process, the membrane of the secretory vesicle becomes part of the cell membrane because small pieces of the membrane are continually added to the cell membrane, one would expect the cell membrane to become larger and larger as secretion continues. The cell membrane stays the same size, however. Explain how this happens.

Two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane that is permeable only to water. The two solutions are: Solution A = 150 mM KCl Solution B = 150 mM Angiotensin (a 7 amino acid polypeptide) Which of the following would best explain the net movement in this situation? - water will move from the KCl side to Angiotensin side - water will move from Angiotensin side to KCl side - The Cl- ion will move to the angiotensin side until there is 75 mM Cl- on each side - Since Angiotensin is not an ion, it can move through the membrane - There is no net water movement as the concentrations are the same on both sides
