Question

Question4 1 pts The osmolality of human plasma is a measure of the total amount of dissolved ions and proteins in the blood. The normal range for plasma osmoliality is 285 295 miliosmol/kg. The injection of a 600 miliosmol/kg patient's bloodstream can be very painful and dangerous. Why should this be? y into a O The injection is hypotonic with blood causing cells to shrivel and become O The injection is hypertonic with blood causing cells to swell and burst O The injection is hypotonic with blood causing cells to swell and burst The injection is hypertonic with blood causing cells to shrivel and become crenulated

Explanation / Answer

Answer: (d) The injection is hypertonic with blood causing cells to shrivel and become crenulated

Explanation:

Hypertonic solution refers to a solution where the amount of solute is more as compared to the cytosol of the cell. When the hypertonic injection is injected into the patient, exosmosis occurs from the cells leading to cell shrivelling and crenation.
