While the outer layer of the skin acts a physical barrier, the skin is porous. It's the same reason sweat appears on our skin when we're hot.

*A drug administered by the cutaneous route can have one of these three actions:

Local action, superficial: ex. local anesthetic ...

Deep action: ex. anti-inflammatory action ...

Systemic or general action: ex. anti-anginal action

*The skin is a very effective barrier, which limits the number of drugs that can enter the system.

*The factor influencing the penetration of the drugs are:

- Nature and physicochemical properties of P.A: Molecular weight, hydrophilicity, lipophilicity, stability ...

- Formulation of the drug: Excipients lipophilic, hydrophilic, amphiphilic, an absorption promoter

- Nature and condition of the skin, Location, age, thickness (1 to 8 mm ...), vascularization...

*To not penetrate the skin, a drug should have to be of high molecular mass (to be unable to penetrate through the skin tissue), hydrophilic (since the skin is of a lipophilic nature).

*For example, solar creams should not enter the system so the excipients used are hydrophilic in nature.

Which is the correct description of flow of blood to the proper structures?
MAVERICK [17]
<span>Answer: Blood leaves the left ventricle through the aorta.

The blood that is pumped from the heart and goes through all of the body structures, that need to be irrigated, leaves from the left ventricle. This ventricle will contract and push the blood to go to the aorta. From there, goes to the rest of the body.

What results would you expect from a biuret test of steak solution?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

A positive result.

Explanation:

Biuret test is a test performed to check whether proteins are present in a given sample or not. If the solution changes its colour to violet then it means that the sample contains proteins. If the colour is not changed to violet, then the result would be negative and protein would not be present in the sample.

Steaks contain a rich amount of protein. Hence, when Biuret test is performed for a steak solution, the results will be positive. The steak sample would change colour to violet.
