Important parameters in the Fish Tank 1: Volume, Clearance, and k

Important parameters in the Fish tank:
Volume of Distribution, Clearance, and Elimination Rate Constant

Prof. Daniel Brown clarifies the definition of various parameters.

He also illustrates the meaning of Volume of Distribution (V), so we can understand how it relates to a body. Besides serum concentration (C) and a dose, we still need to consider other significant factors.

We can learn the concept of clearance (CL) and elimination rate constant (k) from this video as well. If you have any questions about the ‘brain exercise’ in the video, please feel free to leave them below.
