Toxins

________- endogenous substances biologically synthesized by living cells or microorganisms that are harmful to cells and tissues.

New cards
3

Poisons

exogenous agents that have adverse effects on biological system

New cards
4

New cards
5

LD50

predicted dose that would result in death in 50% of the population

New cards
6

ED50

predicted dose that would be effective or have a therapeutic benefit in 50% of the population

New cards
7

simple irritation to severe tissue destruction

upon inhalation (entry), chemicals can be exhaled or deposited in the respiratory tract This means direct contact with tissues in the upper respiratory tract thus causing

New cards
8

concentration of the chemicals in the air solubility of the substances in blood and tissues length & frequency of exposure respiration rate size of toxic particles conditions of the respiratory tract

factors affecting the inhalation of toxic chemicals

New cards
9

innocuous, destruction, blood, damage

In skin/eye absorption of toxic chemicals, it either cause local effect or enter systemic circulation. In local effect, it is usually relatively ______; redness, mild dermatitis more severe; skin tissue _______ In system circulation, many toxic substances can cross the skin barrier & get absorbed into _____ circulation produce ______ to internal organs

New cards
10

skin conditions (damage to the protective layer) nature of the toxic substances (organic/inorganic substances) eye contact (severe damage/effects even with short exposure)

factors affecting the skin absorption of toxic chemicals

New cards
11

direct ingestion, indirect ingestion, non-dietary ingestion

Three different types of ingestion
