Chapter 6, Problem 4.1CT

A doctor injections a patient with what the doctor thinks is isotonic saline solution. The patient dies,and autopsy reveals that many red blood cells are swollen or completely destroyed. 1. Do you think the solution the doctor injected was really isotonic.2. Assuming that the doctor did not inject an isotonic solution what was the tonicity of the solution he injected 3. Explain what caused the patients red blood cells to swell. Incorporate into your answer three or more following terms . Hypotonic ,isotonic,high concentration, lower concentration, lower concentration,tonicity,extracellular,intracellular 
Select the letter of the choice that best completes the statement. Oxygen moves from an area of higher concentration through a process calleda. active transport.b. osmosis.c. diffusion.d. filtration.
1) whether the statement is correct or incorrect and 2) the reasoning for your answer. Your answer should demonstrate your understanding of the physiological concepts underlying the statement and be professionally written.
Assume a cell with the following properties:
[Na]out = 120 mM; [Na]in = 12 mM
[K]out = 5 mM; [K]in = 125 mM
Membrane is permeable only to Na+ and K+
If the plasma membrane of the cell becomes more permeable to Na+, both influx of Na+ into the cell and the Na+ equilibrium potential will increase.
