Detailed explanation-1: -A hypertonic solution is any external solution that has a high solute concentration and low water concentration compared to body fluids. In a hypertonic solution, the net movement of water will be out of the body and into the solution.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hypertonic: The solution with the higher concentration of solutes.

Detailed explanation-3: -A hypertonic solution has a water concentration greater than that is found inside the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water moves into and out of cells by osmosis. If a cell is in a hypertonic solution, the solution has a lower water concentration than the cell cytosol, and water moves out of the cell until both solutions are isotonic.

Detailed explanation-5: -Osmosis: This is the hydrostatic force acting to equalize the concentration of water on both sides of the membrane that is impermeable to substances dissolved in that water. Water will move along its concentration gradient.
