Biomedical Engineering- Bridging Medicine and Technology -- W. Mark Saltzman 2009

In Section 9.2, the text discusses the zero-order kinetics of alcohol disappearance from the blood.

a. Using the approach outlined in section 7.2.2 (Tracer balance in the body), find an equation describing the concentration of alcohol in the plasma versus time, given that the initial concentration in the plasma (at time=0) is 10 mM.(Refer to Figure 9.5, the half-life of alcohol in plasma is 150 min)

b. Graph the results of (a).

c. Over what time interval is the expression that you derived in (a) valid? Why is it not valid for all time?
