Question

What will happen to the RBCs of a patient’s blood if a concentrated salt solution is

administered to his/her veins ? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

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 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.
