Question

if there's an increase in sodium in blood plasma, what does that mean in terms of hypertonicity?

Answer 2

\(\Huge{\color{red}{\bigstar}\color{blue}{\bigstar}\color{green}{\bigstar}\color{yellow}{\bigstar}\color{orange}{\bigstar}\color{red}{\bigstar}\color{blue}{\bigstar}\color{green}{\bigstar}\color{yellow}{\bigstar}\color{orange}{\bigstar}\color{red}{\bigstar}\color{blue}{\bigstar}\color{green}{\bigstar}\color{yellow}{\bigstar}}\\\color{white}{.}\\\Huge\sf\color{blue}{~~~~Welcome~to~OpenStudy!~\ddot\smile}\\\color{white}{.}\\\\\Huge{\color{red}{\bigstar}\color{blue}{\bigstar}\color{green}{\bigstar}\color{yellow}{\bigstar}\color{orange}{\bigstar}\color{red}{\bigstar}\color{blue}{\bigstar}\color{green}{\bigstar}\color{yellow}{\bigstar}\color{orange}{\bigstar}\color{red}{\bigstar}\color{blue}{\bigstar}\color{green}{\bigstar}\color{yellow}{\bigstar}}\)

Answer 3

Hypertonicity = Solute concentration of blood plasma is greater than solute concentration inside the blood corpuscles.

Answer 4

Got it ?

Answer 5

so how does that affect the sodium levels in blood plasma?

Answer 6

Now since the sodium level in the blood plasma is greater than that of corpuscles, water will start moving across the membrane and outside the corpuscle into plasma. This will reduce the conc of plasma and increase the conc of corpuscle. This will occur untill both have equal conc.
