Sporadic cancer is cancer by chance, there is no relative with the same type of cancer. Familial Cancer, on the other hand, is a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Hereditary cancer, moreover, happens when a defective gene is passed from parent to child. Breast and ovarian cancer fall under hereditary cancer though it does not mean that if either of the parents have these types of cancer, the offspring will definitely acquire it. If either of the parents has the defective gene for breast or ovarian cancer, the offspring has higher chances of having the aforementioned cancer.

If a person is normovolemic and consumes a large quantity of a hyperosmotic solution, it will ________. If a person is normovole
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

cause cells to shrink due to an increase in the osmolarity of extracellular fluid.

Explanation:

Normovolemic describes the situation in which a living organism maintains a normal volume or amount of blood in the body.

A hyperosmotic solution can be defined as a solution having an increased level of osmotic pressure. Thus, when there's a greater amount of solute with respect to another solution in a membrane with close similarities, it is known as hyperosmotic solution.

Basically, hyperosmotic solution gives rise to higher difference between solutes and similar solutions.

Hence, when a normovolemic person consumes a large quantity of a hyperosmotic solution, it will cause cells to shrink due to an increase in the osmolarity of extracellular fluid i.e the total number of solute particles with respect to the concentration of a solution (Osm/L).
