Explanation:
Therefore, when we place blood red cells within a salty solution, pressure generated by concentration differences, of salt, higher outside, will make salt come in, due to cell-self protection mechanisms, not too much, and water will come out, eventually the cell can "crack." It can be seen for instance when a frog gets ...

Blood cells are composed mainly of water, it will make up the proportion of about 90% of water for whole body. One nice example is when we remain too much time in the pool or sea water, our skin will change its normal state.
Because of the difference in osmotic potential caused by the salt water solution, water will diffuse out of the red blood cells causing them to shrink in size. Accordingly, this principle is used in the curing(*) of meat and vegetables; most of the bacteria will have their cells destroyed due the "water-stealing process."

It can be seen for instance when a frog gets in touch with salt by the skin, they loose the skin-need humidity. On the upcoming picture, we have an schematic picture of a shrivelled cell.
