Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Lower limb consists of the largest muscles. Most muscles that act on femur originate on the hipbone.

Answer to Problem 1PL

Correct answer:

The correct answer is option (a) Pelvis.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation/justification for the correct answer:

Option (a) Pelvis. The muscles that move the thigh at the hip joint have their origins on the pelvis. Those muscles attached on the anterior pelvis act to flex the thigh at the hip joint, those attach at the posterior pelvis act to extend the thigh at the hip joint, those attached at the lateral side of the pelvis act as abductors and rotators of the thigh at the hip joint, and those attached on the medial pelvis act as adductors of the thigh at the hip joint. So, the correct answer is option (a).

Explanation for incorrect answer:

Option (b) Femur. Femur is the thigh bone. The muscles that move the thigh at the hip joint originate at pelvis and the insertion I usually on the femur. So, this is an incorrect option.

Option (c) Tibia. Tibia is one of the leg bones. The leg has two bones: a thick strong tibiaon the

medial side and a slender fibula on the lateral side. Tibia and fibula extend from the knee to the ankle. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option (d) Patella. The patella or kneecap is a roughly triangular sesamoidbone embedded in the tendon of the knee.So, this is an incorrect answer.

1. In vivo testing provides valuable insight into a drug’s kinetics. Assessing drug kinetics following multiple different routes of administration provides greater insight than just a single route of administration alone. The following data was collected in 250 g rats following bolus iv, oral (po), and intraperitoneal (ip) administration.Using this data and set of graphs, determine: (a) k, C0, V, and AUC* for the bolus iv data  (b) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the po data  (c) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the ip data  (d) relative bioavailability for po vs ip, Fpo/Fip  (e) absolute po bioavailability, (f)Fpo absolute ip bioavailability, Fip    MAKE SURE ANSWERS HAVE UNITS if appropriate. SHOW ALL WORK, including equation used, variables used and each step to your solution.
2. Drug quantification from plasma is commonly performed by using techniques such as HPLC or LC/MS. However, these methods do have limitations, and investigators may choose to use a radiolabeled analog of a drug instead. Radioligands are molecules that contain radioactive isotopes, commonly 3H or 14C. This technique allows investigators to quantify drug concentration from radiation measurements. The following measurements were made in 250 g rats following oral administration of 18.2 µCi of a 14C-labeled drug of interest: Time (min) Plasma Radiation Levels (µCi/L) 0 0.0 2 9.7 4 19.2 7 25.3 9 37.8 12 39.6 14 45.8 17 48.8 20 52.0 25 56.4 30 59.2 35 60.1 40 61.1 45 62.1 50 62.8 60 63.1 70 62.1 80 60.1 90 57.3 100 55.5 110 53.7 120 52.2 150 48.0 180 45.0 240 39.0  Note that a µCi is a measure of the amount of radioactivity and hence is a measure of the amount of drug present.  Given that the oral bioavailability of this drug is known to be essentially 100%, estimate the following from this…
