← Human Body & HealthWhich consequence results when hypotonic fluid excess occurs in blood?
A)Cell lysis due to osmotic influx✓
B)Crenation because of osmotic efflux
C)Reduced neuron action potentials efficacy
D)Edema reduces lymphatic absorption rates

Cell lysis happens because water moves into cells via osmosis, driven by lower blood osmolarity; therefore cells swell and burst as intracellular pressure rises, rather than shrink via crenation were blood hypertonic.
