A patient has had a serious accident and lost a lot of blood. In an attempt to replenish body fluids, a large amount of distilled water was transferred directly into one of his veins. What will be the most probable result of this transfusion?
It will have serious, perhaps fatal, consequences because the red blood cells will be hypertonic relative to the body fluids and the cells will burst.
It will have serious, perhaps fatal, consequences because the red blood cells will be hypotonic relative to the body fluids and the cells will shrivel.
It will have no unfavorable effect as long as the water is free of viruses and bacteria.
It will have no serious effect because the kidneys would quickly eliminate the excess water.
It will have serious, perhaps fatal, consequences because there will be too much fluid for the heart to pump.
if you were lost at sea and drank salty water, what would you expect to happen to the cells in your body?
Reports in the media about stem cells usually state that they “turn into any kind of cell in the body.” Explain why this statement is only partially correct, including a description of how a stem cell maintains the population of stem cells.
