| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is considered a hypotonic state? | Less than body and less than 250 mEQ/L |
| What is considered an isotonic state? | Equal to body and equal to 310 mEQ/L |

| What happens to a cell in a hyponic state? | It is dehydrated to start which means there is more water outside of the cell so water moves toward the cell. |
