Jamie has a bad case of the stomach flu and has been vomiting for several hours. What effect on the tonicity of her plasma would this have? What effect would this have on any water shifts between the plasma and interstitial fluid?
A. Vomiting causes a loss of water from the body, which would make Jamie dehydrated. Dehydration would make her plasma hypertonic, which would decrease its osmotic pressure and result in water entering the plasma from the interstitial fluid.
B. Vomiting causes a loss of water from the body, which would make Jamie dehydrated. Dehydration would make her plasma hypotonic, which would increase its osmotic pressure and result in water entering the plasma from the interstitial fluid.
C. Vomiting causes a loss of water from the body, which would make Jamie dehydrated. Dehydration would make her plasma hypertonic, which would increase its osmotic pressure and result in water entering the plasma from the interstitial fluid.
D. Vomiting causes a loss of water from the body, which would make Jamie dehydrated. Dehydration would make her plasma hypertonic, which would increase its osmotic pressure and result in water entering the interstitial fluid from the plasma.
