Concept explainers
To discuss:
The distinction between hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic solutions and their effect on cells and how this relates to intravenous fluid therapy.
Introduction:
Cells are regarded as the simplest unit (structural and functional) of life. Cellular membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm are the three major components of a cell. Cellular membrane, which surrounds the entire cell, is composed of phospholipids and proteins. The nucleus is bound by a nuclear membrane, and it possesses the genetic material of the cell. Cytoplasm consists of organelles, cytoskeleton (filaments and tubules), and inclusion bodies. Protoplasm denotes all living material that are present in the cell enclosed by the cellular membrane (inside and outside the nucleus).

True Falsearrow_forwardCotransport systems of the internal epithelial cells include the _____ in the intestine facing membrane, the energy requiring _____ facing the blood, and the ________ allowing facilitated diffusuon of glucose out of the cell.arrow_forwardWhy in the initial phase of fluid replacement is rapid in both isotonic and hypotonic dehydration, but it is contraindicated in hypertonic dehydrationarrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forward42, The collecting duct is permeable to water Multiple Choice and Na+ ions which create the osmotic gradient for water only when antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is present and actively transports water out using a specialized aquaporin at all times, just like the descending limb of the nephronarrow_forwardAll the fluid found outside cells is collectively called _____ fluid, and consists of _____________ and ______________ fluid.arrow_forward
