Received 2 liters of normal saline does hematocrit increase?

Biology

SIZIF [17.4K]3 years ago

The saline distributes rapidly (within about 15 minutes) from the intravascular to the interstitial compartment. And there, it is stuck.

The cells have active pumps and the membrane is impermeable to sodium; similarly, chloride is trapped.
Because normal saline is isoosmotic with the extracellular fluid, water does not have any osmotic pressure to shift between compartments, and it distributes itself according to the proportional distribution of sodium (i.e. about 25% of it stays intravascular and 75% enters the interstitial fluid).

(This may not be entirely accurate. Because the osmolality of the extracellular fluid increases, some water undegoes a shift into the extracellular compartment. The new equilibrium point is 290.2 mOsm/L. To achieve this, a whole 25ml of water has to move up into the extracellular compartment. So, the intravascular volume increases not by 250ml, but by... 256ml. What a big difference that makes. In order to remain detached from pedantic hair-splitting, I have opted to omit this from all the further calculations.)

Plasma osmolality doesn't change much, because it has received a load of essentially isoosmolar fluid.
<span>You will notice that the osmolality of the compartments increases by 0.2 mmol/L from your maths; but the osmoreceptors dont care.</span>

The last bit of your question, YES these domestic animals have a huge ecological importance!  Especially if you released them into the wild.

<span>When I first read the question, I wasn't so sure about this.  I figured they would probably just wander around for a while, possibly a few months or years, and then die out little by little as they competed for food and fell to predators.  </span>

<span>However, in the meantime they would likely eat everything, and then attract large numbers of predators, who would then have many babies.  </span>

Ribosomes are the most
sdas [7]

Answer:

Explanation:  

The nucleolus makes rRNA, which makes up ribosomes. The Golgi apparatus gets vesicles of proteins from the ER (which contains ribosomes) to process, sort, and ship the proteins to where they are needed. The rough endoplasmic reticulum and the cytoplasm houses the ribosomes.

Acids

Explanation:

Acids are ionic compounds that produce positive hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. Acids taste sour. They conduct electricity when dissolved in water. They also react with metals to produce hydrogen gas.

Why myoglobin has higher affinity for oxygen than hemoglobin?<br>​
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Normally, the iron group in myoglobin has an oxidation state of 2+. However, when oxygen binds to the iron, it gets oxidized to an oxidation state of 3+. This allows the oxygen that is binded to have a negative charge, which stabilizes it. Myoglobin's affinity for oxygen is higher than hemoglobin.
