Isotonic Solutions Explanation

Two solutions having the same osmotic pressure at a given temperature are called isotonic solutions.

Normal saline solution (0.9% mass/volume sodium chloride solution) has an osmotic pressure equivalent to the fluid inside a blood cell.

A solution with higher osmotic pressure compared to another solution is known as a hypertonic solution.
