Received 2 liters of normal saline does hematocrit increase?

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>

When growing, as a cell gets bigger, what happens to its surface area to volume ratio?
marysya [2.9K]

<u>Answer</u>:

Surface area to volume ratio decreases.

<u>Explanation</u>:

When the cell enlarges beyond its capacity, it fails to supply enough material that can cross the membrane sooner so as to occupy the cellular volume. Hence the diffusion rate also decreases so as the ratio. The cell carry out its various functions to sustain through diffusion when diffusion rate is low it will ultimately affect the ratio. Bigger size affects the diffusion of the material to the out of the cell. as we know the diffusion occurs across the surface of the cell.

2. Wings of bats and birds serve the same function and are analogous structure.

3. Comparative anatomy is the study of the similarities and differences in structures in similar species.

4. Fossils demonstrate that during the evolution of the whale, the whale moved from land to the sea.

5. The human tailbone and appendix are vestigial organs.

6. The homologous structures are structures that are similar in related organisms because they were inherited from the common ancestor.

7. Comparative embryology is the study of similarities and differences in the embryo of different species.

8. The forelimb of all the mammals has basic bone structure.

9. Scientists who find and study fossils are called paleontologists.
