Physiological solution

Called artificial saline solutions containing certain minerals in approximately the same concentration in which they are found in plasma. These solutions are isotonic with the blood have the same osmotic pressure.
The physiological significance has not only the total concentration of ions, but the ratio of the concentration of individual ions in solution. NaCl solution can not be considered completely physiological, Those which retain the ability to live fully, but they are usually called physiological.

Saline NaCl mammals and man – 0.85 – 0.9%. Other physiological solutions closer in composition to plasma.
Before introduction into the blood of warm-blooded animals physiological solution was heated to body temperature (37-38 ° C). When using these solutions for experiments on isolated organs them, moreover, saturated with oxygen. However, saline solutions when administered into the bloodstream rapidly absorbed tissues, since they do not contain proteins. Therefore, when injected into the blood colloid added thereto – gum arabic.
