what is an isotonic solution, hypotonic solution and hypertonic solution.?

Answer 1

An isotonic solution is a solution that has the same salt concentration as the normal cells of the body and the blood. Isotonic solutions will remain in the bloodstream when administered intravenously.

A hypertonic solution is a solution with a higher salt concentration than in normal cells of the body and the blood. Hypertonic solutions will draw fluid from the surrounding tissues.

A hypotonic solution is a solution with a lower salt concentration than in normal cells of the body and the blood. Hypotonic solutions will leave the bloodstream quickly, being absorbed by the surrounding tissues.
