6. How are excess salts that accumulate in cells transferred to the blood stream so they can be removed from the body? Explain how this process works in terms of tonicity.

Tonicity is the concentration of a solution compared to another, with regards to the number of solutes in these solutions. Too many solutes in a cell may cause them to be hypertonic hence absorb water too much water and lyse. Therefore, these solutes are excreted to the blood-stream through active transport and facilitated diffusion. These solutes are then excreted by the kidneys. If they are not excreted, the osmotic pressure (due to the inflow of water to the bloodstream by osmosis) may cause high blood volumes being pumped by the heart hence high blood pressure
