A patient was involved a serious accident and lost a large quantity of blood. In an attempt to replenish body fluids, plain water is added to the blood directly via one of his veins. What will be the most probable result of this transfusion?
a.
The patient's red blood cells will shrivel up because the blood has become hypotonic compared to the cells.
b.
The patient's red blood cells will swell and possibly burst because the blood has become hypotonic compared to the cells.
c.
The patient's red blood cells will shrivel up because the blood has become hypertonic compared to the cells.
d.
The patient's red blood cells will burst because the blood has become hypertonic compared to the cells.
Blood cells have a rigid cell wall.
