Detailed explanation-1: -0.9% NaCl is isotonic to red blood cells. Which of these describes what will happen if a technician misplaces a decimal point and makes 9.0% NaCl solution instead and administers it to a patient? The cells exposed to the solution will burst.
Detailed explanation-2: -If a red blood cell (intracellular concentration of 0.9% salt) is placed into a test tube containing 10% salt solution, what would happen to it? It would fill with water and burst.
Detailed explanation-3: -In contrast, cells exposed to NaCl 0.9% showed changes that could promote the formation of peritoneal adhesion formation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Washing of erythrocytes with 0.85% solution of NaCl decreased the pH and hemoglobin affinity to oxygen to such an extent that the Bohr effect increased as the result of effect of chloride ions on hemoglobin properties added to the effects of pH.
Detailed explanation-5: -Due to the hypertonic solution, water left the cells. In the blood and 0.9% NaCl solution, what happened to the cells since there seems to be no change? Since the solution is isotonic, there was no net movement of water.
