FIS 201 – Final Exam Review (Modules 11–15, Mohr,
WVU)
Which of these statements is true? - ANS✔✔ Toxicologists work with drugs or poisons after
ingestion
Where are drugs primarily metabolized? - ANS✔✔ Liver
What is an opiate? - ANS✔✔ A large class of drugs able to cause euphoria as well as relieve pain
A stimulant has all the following characteristics (increased blood pressure, elevated heart rate,
reduced respiration, reduced appetite) except... - ANS✔✔ Reduced respiration
"Free base" and "crack" cocaine differ in what manner? - ANS✔✔ "Freebase" and "crack"
cocaine are generally identical. Free base refers to the fact that the amine group within the
cocaine has lost a hydrogen atom (one definition of a base) ; crack cocaine refers to the
crackling sound made when the material is heated to the volatilization point.
What is the major active chemical in Marijuana? - ANS✔✔ Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
Which technique is a type of confirmatory analysis? - ANS✔✔ GC-MS
The time at which a compound emerges from the gas chromatography or liquid
chromatography column is referred to as... - ANS✔✔ Retention Time
Pharmacokinetics is best described as - ANS✔✔ How drugs and other complex molecules move
through the body
, Postmortem redistribution refers to... - ANS✔✔ Concentration changes that occur after death
as drugs are absorbed from one bodily region into another
Cocaine usually appears in large quantities in urine for up to three days following use. - ANS✔✔
False
Which statement or statements is true of carbon monoxide - ANS✔✔ Blood levels of carbon
monoxide-bound hemoglobin that exceed 60% are at great risk of death; The presence of

Duquenois Levine test
The component of Lophophora diffusa that produces hallucinogenic effects is psilocin. - ANS✔✔

What is a false statement about fuels? - ANS✔✔ They can only be volatilized and consumed in
the liquid state
How a gas defuses in air depends on what? - ANS✔✔ It's vapor density relative to air
Which is not a common form of heat transfer? - ANS✔✔ Reduction
