The steady-state plasma concentration that is reached is 4.0 mg/L, so TC = 4.0 mg/L loading dose = 8 mg/hour Vd = loading dose/TC Vd = 8 mg/hour / 4 mg/L = 2 L What is the volume of distribution? CL = kVd t1/2 = 0.7 / k t1/2 = 0.7 Vd/CL Vd = CL * t1/2 / 0.7 Note that Clearance at a steady state can be calculated by: Dose <steady state> = CL * TC, so
As a regulator of sensory information, the thalamus also controls sleep and awake states of consciousness. Function: The thalamus is involved in several functions of the body including: 1  Motor Control. 2  Receives Auditory, Somatosensory and Visual Sensory Signals. 3  Relays Sensory Signals to the Cerebral Cortex.
The thalamus and hypothalamus make up the rest of the forebrain. The function of the thalamus is to distribute information to the cerebrum from the spinal cord. The thalamus controls what, as well as how much, information is sent and where in the cerebrum that information is sent, as well.he largest part of the brain, the forebrain processes cognitive, auditory, visual and sensory information. Located in the forebrain, the hippocampus and amygdala are parts of the limbic system.
