Check out the extract below. The human body wants to have fluids within the normal range of its electrolytic balance. Any gross difference can cause damage, and pain if one has the nerves to feel it. CS is essentially distilled water which has no electrolytes, normal saline solution is what we are shooting for, water with excessive salt in it has too many electrolytes.
Neville, your investigative method leaves a lot to be desired. Why don't you make use of the work of others who have investigated some of these issues already? Dan http://www.indiana.edu/~nimsmsf/P215/p215notes/LabManual/Lab5.pdf Tonicity Living cells have the potential of gaining or losing water from the surrounding extracellular fluid through osmosis. The net movement of water into or out of the cell is driven by differences in osmotic pressures between the extracellular fluid and the intracellular fluid. Thus, the effect that an extracellular solution has on the osmotic movement of water into or out of the cell is described by the tonicity of the extracellular fluid. For example, if the osmotic concentrations (i.e., total solute concentrations) of the intracellular fluid and the extracellular fluid are the same, and none of these solutes can pass through the cell membrane, then the osmotic pressures of the intracellular fluid and the extracellular fluid will be the same, and no net osmosis will occur. The extracellular solution is said to be isotonic (“equal tension”, referring to the equal osmotic pressures). Cells removed from the body and placed in isotonic solutions will retain the “normal” shape they have in the body (Fig 5.4). If a cell is placed into a solution with a higher osmotic concentration than the intracellular fluid (for example, human blood cells in sea water), then the osmotic pressure of the extracellular fluid will exceed that of the intracellular fluid. As a result, water will flow out of the cell and into the extracellular fluid, causing the cell to shrink and crenate (Fig 5.4). In this case, the extracellular fluid is said to be hypertonic (“greater tension”). Conversely, if a cell is placed in a solution with a lower osmotic concentration (for example, distilled water), then the osmotic pressure of the extracellular fluid is less than that of the intracellular fluid. As a result, water flows into the cell, causing it to swell (Fig 5.4) perhaps so much that the cell may undergo lysis (burst). In this situation, the extracellular fluid is said to be hypotonic.
