    hypertonic
    [ adj ]
    1. (of living tissue) in a state of abnormally high tension

    2. <adj.all>
      hypertonic muscle tissue
    3. (of a solution) having a higher osmotic pressure than a comparison solution

    4. <adj.all>


    hypertonic \hy`per*ton"ic\, n. [Pref. hyper- + tonic.]
    (Physiology, Biochemistry)
    Having a higher osmotic pressure than a comparison solution;
    -- of an aqueous solution. Increasing the concentration of
    dissolved solids increases the osmotic pressure, and thus the
    tonicity of a solution. Opposite of {hypotonic} and
    contrasting with {isotonic}. [WordNet sense 1]
    [PJC]

    A knowledge of the colligative properties of solutions
    . . . is essential for one to understand fully the
    principles involved in rendering intravenous solutions
    isotonic with blood serum, or opthalmic solutions
    isotonic with lachrymal fluid. Solutions thus adjusted
    produce less shock and much less irritation than those
    which are hypotonic or hypertonic, and present-day
    practise recognizes the desirability of making the
    necessary adjustments whenever possible. --Cook &
    Martin
    (Remington's
    Practice of
    Pharmacy,
    Tenth Ed.:
    Mack Publ.,
    Easton Pa.,
    1951)

    2. Specifically: Having an osmotic pressure greater than that
    of blood plasma, which is approximately that of a 0.2
    normal solution of sodium chloride. Cells taken from a
    medium of normal physiological osmolality and placed in a
    hypertonic medium will shrink. [WordNet sense 1]
    [PJC]

    3. in a state of abnormally high tension; -- of muscle.
    [WordNet sense 2]

    Syn: pumped-up.
