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.
Thalamus The thalamus is located above the brain stem which is near the center of the brain. It is like a relay station that receives signals from our senses and then passes the signals to its corresponding area in the cerebral cortex.The thalamus receives signals from all our senses except smell.hort term memory allows a person to recall something after a short period of time without practicing or rehearsing. George Miller wrote a paper on short term memory called The magical number 7 +/- 2.. He concluded from his experiments that we could retain 5 to 9 items with our short term memory without rehearsal.
