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?
You have a solution of 0.30 M urea. Urea is a penetrating molecule.
If you place red blood cells into this solution predict what would happen to the red blood cells (stay same, crenated, lysed).
Determine:
1. the osmolarity of 0.30 M urea. Red blood cells are 0.3 Osmolar.
2. apperance/effect on RBC
3. tonicity
Discuss the need for an IV placed in the arm in the hospital. What solution was run into the veins. Why they would allow someone to run saltwater into their bodies. Discuss isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions.
