The change in cell shape can be seen in  microscopy  of the cells, and can be a sign that someone is experiencing a medical problem.

Water flows from areas of low solute concentration to areas of high solute concentration in an effort to stabilize the difference between the two solutions. Sometimes, particles small enough to pass through the cell walls may be drawn out along with the water, and in other cases, they remain behind because they are too big to move through t...
