The cardiovascular system, also known as the circulatory system, is a complex network consisting of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. Its primary function is to transport oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body, maintain body temperature, and help fight infections. The cardiovascular system plays a vital role in maintaining homeostasis and overall … Read more
Plasma Drug Concentration-Time Profile is a graph that represents the concentration of a drug in plasma over time, used to assess and analyze each ADME phase. Phases of the Profile: Absorption PhaseDrug enters the bloodstream, increasing plasma concentration until it reaches Cmax (maximum concentration). Distribution PhaseDrug disperses to tissues. Influenced by blood flow, lipophilicity, and … Read more
