Question 1

What does the One-compartment Model describe?

Answer 1

‘Volume of Distribution’

The body is composed of one single compartment

Question 2

What are two assumptions of the One compartment IV bolus model?

Answer 2

• Any drug within the compartment is distributed evenly and instantaneously
• The volume remains constant during the period under study

Question 3

What is the One-Compartment IV bolus model?

Answer 3

All of a drug pumped into a compartment in one go.

Question 4

What is Euler’s number?

Answer 4

Used in mathematical equations.

Y = e^x

Question 5

What variables are X and Y in a mathematical model?

What are X and Y?

Answer 5
