The one compartment IV bolus model

Question 1

What is x and y on a mathematical model?

Answer 1

X = Predictor Variable 
Y = Dependent Variable

Question 2

What is the name given to x and y : what is the purpose of x and y?

Answer 2

These 2 are known as FUNCTIONS.

They describe the relationship between the dependent and predictor variables.

Question 3

What is known as Euler’s number?

Answer 3

y = e to the power of x.

Question 4

What is the ‘One - Compartment’ model known for?

Answer 4

Considers the body to be composed of a single compartment.

Question 5

What is the one - compartment IV bolus model?

Answer 5

When all of the drug is pumped into the compartment in ONE go.

Question 6

What are the 2 assumption of the one - compartment IV bolus model?

Answer 6

1) Any drug within the compartment is distributed evenly and instantaneously.
2) The volume remains constant during the period under study.

Question 7

What is the equation for elimination?

Answer 7

Elimination = Metabolism and Excretion.
