### Compartment Analysis: Drug Concentration in Blood and Cerebrospinal Fluid

#### Problem Statement:
A patient initially has a concentration of 50 mg/L of morphine in her blood and 70 mg/L in her cerebrospinal fluid. Suppose that the drug moves into the cerebrospinal fluid at a per-capita rate of 0.4 and that the amount that is moved back from the cerebrospinal fluid to the bloodstream is 0.2. 

#### Metabolism Assumptions:
Further suppose that the metabolism of medicine in the bloodstream is 0.1 and the metabolism of the drug in the cerebrospinal fluid is 0.2.

#### Compartment Diagram:
The diagram is divided into two compartments:
1. **Blood**
2. **Cerebrospinal Fluid (Brain)**

(Note: The provided image contains two empty boxes here that students need to fill as part of the exercise.)

#### Variables:
Let \( x(t) \) represent the concentration of the drug in the blood.
Let \( y(t) \) represent the concentration of the drug in the cerebrospinal fluid (brain area).

Complete this compartment diagram.

#### Explanation of the Mathematical Model:
The given differential equations represent the rates of change in drug concentration in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid based on the given metabolism and transfer rates.

##### Differential Equations:
\[
\frac{dx}{dt} = -0.5x + 0.2y
\]

\[
\frac{dy}{dt} = 0.4x - 0.4y
\]

#### Task:
Solve for \( x(t) \) and \( y(t) \) given the initial conditions stated above. Simplify each expression as much as possible and write them in the blanks below.

- **Initial Concentrations:**
  - Blood: \( x(0) = 50 \) mg/L
  - Cerebrospinal Fluid: \( y(0) = 70 \) mg/L

##### Solutions:
X(t) = __________________________________________________________

Y(t) = __________________________________________________________

**Note:** On the next page, please show all your calculations.

---

By analyzing and solving these differential equations, we can understand how the morphine concentration changes over time in the patient's bloodstream and cerebrospinal fluid, taking into account both metabolism and inter-compartment transfer rates.
