Hypertonic solutions may be more useful at drawing moisture from the mucous membrane and relieving nasal congestion.

This is a very hypertonic solution yet it has worked well as a general tissue fixation condition for many years in pathology labs.

What would happen if you place a blood cell in a hypertonic solution Preceding contribs ) 00 : 37, 8 November 2007 ( UTC)
4.
Isotonic solutions have the same salt concentration as the human body, whereas hypertonic solutions have a higher salt content and hypotonic solutions have a lower salt content.
5.
If you put a cell in a hypertonic solution, the concentration is bigger on the outside, so water will move from the " inside " to the outside.
6.
When plant cells are in a hypertonic solution, the flexible cell membrane pulls away from the rigid cell wall, but remains joined to the cell wall at points called plasmodesmata.

The question would be the same if they asked what would happen to rbcs dropped into a hypotonic or a hypertonic solution . alteripse 23 : 55, 1 September 2006 ( UTC)

Cytorrhysis of plant cells can be induced in laboratory settings if they are placed in a hypertonic solution where the size of the solutes in the solution inhibit flow through the pores in the cell wall matrix.
9.
Usually the osmotic gradient is used while comparing solutions that have a semipermeable membrane between them allowing water to diffuse between the two solutions, toward the hypertonic solution ( the solution with the higher concentration ).

Gastrografin is a hypertonic solution, and therefore it should be avoided in imaging studies of the upper gastrointestinal tract in patients who are at risk of aspiration, as it will cause prompt pulmonary edema if accidentally introduced into the tracheobronchial tree.
