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>

What is the greatest current threat to the loss of Earths biodiversity
luda_lava [24]
The greatest current threat to the loss of the Earth's biodiversity is global warming. This is because when the ice melts, the cold comes down to us and makes us have rainy summers and very early snow and cold springs and cold autumns. And when the ice melts enough, water will start to come down and flood countries and cities, such as Manhattan. Scientists are predicting that California will break away from America.

Which value is being measured in the columns labeled fraction remaining and percentage remaining
ahrayia [7]

<u>Question</u>:

Which value is being measured in the columns labeled "Fraction remaining” and "Percentage remaining”?

  1. years of decay
  2. quantity of energy
  3. number of stable atoms
  4. amount of material that has not decayed

<u>Answer</u>:

"Amount of material that has not decayed" being measured in the columns labelled "Fraction remaining” and "Percentage remaining”

<u>Explanation</u>:

The table shown below having explains about the half life , the  amount of sample in both fraction and percentage. The first column named half life elapsed tells  us the the number of half life that that is completed. Half life is the time taken for an element to reduce or decay into half of its initial amount.

The fraction remaining column gives the amount of sample that is left behind  after the half life particular number of half life has completed.  similarly the percentage remaining column gives the amount of sample in percentage. For example, the 5th row tells us that after 4 half life is over \frac{1}{16} th of the sample remained. In percentage it is 6.25%

Frog gives birth to a tadpole. true or false​
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

<h2><u>TRUE</u></h2>

Explanation:

The eggs of a frog hatch into tadpoles, which look like little fish. After a few days, tadpoles develop legs and arms and grow into young frogs with tails. In the next few days, they grow into an adult frog with no tail. The process of growing from a tadpole to an adult frog is called metamorphosis
