- Homeostasis
- Steady rate
- Titration
- Tolerance - Correct Answer>>- Steady rate (Cam)
The condition that occurs after a specific dose of a drug is given at such
regular intervals that absorption and elimination (and therefore drug plasma
concentration) have become fairly constant is referred to as "steady state."
Homeostasis, in medical terms, refers to the body's ability to maintain a
stable and balanced internal environment despite external changes and
fluctuations. It involves various physiological processes and mechanisms
that regulate factors such as temperature, blood pressure, pH, and the
concentration of various substances within the body. Homeostasis is
essential for the proper functioning of bodily systems and is critical for
overall health. When homeostasis is disrupted, it can lead to various medical
conditions and imbalances. (Equilibrium)
