Table 6. Completed sample results of hematocrit measurements for nonhemolyzed blood
| Sample | Observed Hematocrit, \% | Corrected Hematocrit for Nonhemolyzed Blood, \% |
|---|---|---|
| Tube 3: blood + 0.45\% NaCl | 2 | 4 |
| Tube 4: blood + distilled water | 0 | 0 |
| Tube 5: blood + isosmotic urea | 0 | 0 |
| Tube 6: nonhemolyzed blood | 9 | 9 |
What happens to red blood cells placed in 0.9\% NaCl solution?
The erythrocyte shrinks in hypertonic solutions and swells in hypotonic solutions. When an erythrocyte has swollen to about 1.4 times its original volume, it begins to lyse (burst). The red blood cell has its normal volume in isotonic NaCl. Erythrocytes remain intact in NaCl 0.9\%, resulting in an opaque suspension.
What happens when blood cells are placed in 0.4 NaCl solution?
0.4\% sodium chloride solution is less concentrateed (hypotonic) and osmosis takes place into the blood cells (hyphotonic). As a result, there is swelling in the blood cells.
What is the tonicity of 0.9 NaCl solution?
A 0.9\% NaCl solution is said to be isotonic: when blood cells reside in such a medium, the intracellular and extracellular fluids are in osmotic equilibrium across the cell membrane, and there is no net influx or efflux of water.
Is 0.09 NaCl hypertonic or hypotonic?
If a cell with a NaCl concentration of 0.9\% is placed in a solution of water with a 10\% concentration of NaCl, the solution is said to be hypertonic.
Why are blood cells in 10\% NaCl crenate?
The blood cells in the 10\% NaCl solution were crenated; we know this because all the cells viewed were considerably smaller. The cells in the 0.9\% NaCl were viewed as normal with few or no changes.
What happens when a red blood cell is placed in concentrated salt solution?
Water will diffuse from a higher water concentration outside the cell to a lower water concentration inside the cell. Red blood cells placed in a solution with a lower water concentration compared to their contents (eg 1.7 per cent salt solution) will lose water by osmosis and shrink.
When red blood cells are placed in 95\% NaCl they shrink this is called?
This shrinking is termed crenation or plasmolysis. The 2.0\% NaCl solution outside the red blood cell is hypertonic (it contains more salt than the red blood cell) to the red blood cell.
What happens when blood cells are placed in 0.2 NaCl solution?
solution, the water moves in to the cells by osmosis causing the cells to swell eventually burst called as haemolysis.
Is 0.45 NaCl hypertonic or hypotonic?
Sodium Chloride 0.45\% Solution for Infusion is a hypotonic solution, with an approximate osmolarity of 154 mOsm/l. The pharmacodynamic properties of the solution are those of the sodium and chloride ions in maintaining the fluid and electrolyte balance.
