Question

your treatment choices are saline solutions with different amounts of salt (nacl) that can be added to clarks blood and affect osmosis in the brain. in medicine and veterinary medicine, saline solutions are compared with the normal concentration of sodium (~143 mmol/l) in healthy blood. three saline solutions are available: isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic. concentration of sodium interpret each as higher, lower, or equal to normal blood na+ concentration. lower equal higher isotonic saline hypotonic saline hypertonic saline submit

Explanation:

Isotonic solutions have the same solute - concentration as the reference (healthy blood in this case), so the sodium concentration is equal. Hypotonic solutions have a lower solute - concentration, so the sodium concentration is lower. Hypertonic solutions have a higher solute - concentration, so the sodium concentration is higher.

Answer:

Isotonic Saline: Equal
Hypotonic Saline: Lower
Hypertonic Saline: Higher
