First-pass effect.

  
The first-pass effect involves drugs that are given PO and absorbed from the small intestine directly into the portal venous system, which delivers the drug molecules to the liver. Once in the liver, enzymes break the drug into metabolites; they may become active or may be deactivated and readily excreted from the body. A large percentage of the oral dose is usually destroyed and never reaches tissues. Oral dosages account for this phenomenon to ensure an appropriate amount of the drug in the body to produce a therapeutic action. Passive diffusion is the major process through which drugs are absorbed into the body. Active transport is a process that uses energy to actively move a molecule across a cell membrane and is often involved in drug excretion in the kidney. Glomerular filtration is the passage of water and water-soluble components from the plasma into the renal tubule.

Which method would allow you to study the behavior of a tiger in its native habitat in India?
IgorLugansk [536]
They are solitary animals, especially males who do not live in groups, unlike the female which can form small groups of three or four members with their young.

The males are very territorial, so take care of their personal space and the females with whom they mate. To mark their territory, they spray the trees and rocks with a mixture of urine and musk.

Both male and female, they are related only in times of mating and reproduction. There have been cases where the male is responsible for feeding breeding if the mother has died.

The gestation period lasts between 98 and 108 days and give birth to two to four cubs weighing just over a kilo. They have a short life expectancy, as only get to live 10 to 12 years in the wild, but in captivity Natural mortality manage to live up to 26. It is mainly due to the fighting between males
