Answer:

Swelling of the red blood cells occurs.

Explanation:

  • <u>Distilled water makes the blood hypotonic ,. that is a less concentrated solution, to the body  tissues including  the red blood cells. </u>
  • Therefore the water will enter the red blood cells and may cause them to lyse or swell.
  • <em>Additionally , water will enter the tissue spaces and cause sweling. </em>
  • But in the case of a hypertonic solution , ( a salt or saline solution ) , <em>This swelling does not happen because the concentration of the saline will be equal or more than the blood. </em>
  • Thus the water will flow only from the blood to the solution. <u>This will not cause swelling.</u>
  • But too much of salt is also not recommended.
