What causes water to move from the bloodstream into cells?
  1. Osmoreceptors
  2. Infusing hypotonic solution
  3. Infusing salted saline solution
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer - B - Infusing hypotonic solution causes water to move from the bloodstream into the cells. This occurs because water tends to move from areas of low solute concentration toward areas of higher solute concentration. For example, low solute concentration in the bloodstream to the interstitial space and cells where there would be a need for higher solute concentrations.
