GRADE VERIFIED ANSWERS
Nephores are between the __ and the __ of the kidney
(Basics) Correct Answer cortex and the medula
On avarage there are __ nephrones per kidney per adult
(Basics) Correct Answer 1,400, 000
The plasma enters the nephron through the __ (Basics)
Correct Answer afferent arteriole
All filtrate from the nephron will eventually be transported
through the collecting duct into the __, which drains the
filtrate out of the kidney into the ureter. (Basics) Correct
Answer renal pelvis
Small molecule drugs are defined by having a molecular
mass of ____ Daltons or less Correct Answer 900 daltons
Small molecule drugs are typically given __ Correct
Answer orally
The amount of drug that is available in the systemic
circulation Correct Answer Bioavailable
,Pharmacokinetics involves these processes: (ADME)
Correct Answer Absorption, distribution, metabolism,
excretion
The maximum concentration of drug achieved in the
bloodstream is called: __ Correct Answer Cmax
__ is the time when the maximum concentration of a drug
is archived Correct Answer Tmax
A concentration corresponding to half the maximal
concentration of drug in the bloodstream. Correct Answer
C50
__ is the lengh of time between the C50 and the cmax,
which indicates the time it tkes for 50% of the drug to be
removed from the plasma after it reaches its maximum
concentration Correct Answer T half (elimination half life)
__ is the mecanism of transportation of a drug when the
drug pases from an area of high concentraition to an area
with low concentration Correct Answer passive difusion
__ law states that a higher or grater surface area and a
higher of greater concentration gradient is going to result
in a higher rate of diffusion, whereas a larger diffusion
distant is going to result in slower rate of diffusion Correct
Answer Fick's law
, Mechanism of transport used by a drug to be absorbed in
the GI: __, __, __ Correct Answer passive diffusion,
facilitated diffusion, active transport.
The second face of distribution is the movement of the
drug from the circulation into the tissues, and is named:__
Correct Answer partition
Once the drug is on the bloodstream the proteins on there
can bind the drug not letting all of the drug move out of the
circulation and reach their molecular target. These is
called:__ Correct Answer Plasma protein binding
Drugs that are __,__molecular weight, __polar, __soluble,
can move across the blood brain barrier and the placenta
Correct Answer small, low molecular weight, non polar, fat
soluble
The principal body compartments are: __, __, __, __, __
Correct Answer Plasma, interstitial fluids, intracellular
fluids, transcellular fluids, fat compartment
__ fluids compartment is the smallest of the body
compartments and these are fluids within the epithelial
lined spaced in the body such as LCR, peritoneal fluids,
etc Correct Answer Transcellular fluids
Besides plasma, the "other compartments" of the body are
aprox __ ltrs in a 70 kg male Correct Answer 38 l
