Summary
This is a lecture on erythrocyte osmotic fragility test. It covers topics like osmosis, osmotic pressure, and different types of solutions (isotonic, hypertonic, hypotonic) related to plasma. The lecture also details the procedure for testing and possible false results.

Cihan University/ Sulaymaniyah College of Health Science Medical Microbiology 2nd Stage - 1st Semester Pr. Anatomy and Physiology Lecture 2 Erythrocyte Osmotic Fragility Test 2024-2025 Lecturer: Dr. Bahramand B. Marouf Osmosis Osmosis is the flow of water across a semipermeable membrane from a solution with low solute concentration to a solution with high solute concentration Osmotic pressure: it is a pressure that resist osmosis There are three types of solutions in compare with the plasma: 1. Isotonic solutions which has the same osmolarity as the plasm (0.9% to 0.85%). 2. Hypertonic solution which has higher osmolarity than the plasma (>0.9%). 3. Hypotonic solution which has lower osmolarity than the plasma (
