A

Water will move outside the cell, causing it to crenate or shrink

More soln outside the cell

109
Q

What will happen if you place a cell into a hypotonic soln?

What does hypotonic mean?

A

Water will move into the cell, cause it to swell

Less soln outside the cell

110
Q

Why is it important to not use the first drop of blood?

A

Because its high in tissue fluid and clot activators, so it is not representative of there rest of the blood.

A contaminated fragment of a cell

112
Q

What would squeezing your finger excessively to produce blood do to your hemoglobin determination?

Q

Anemia:

A

114
Q

Why does the fetus and newborn have a much higher RBC count than males and females?
