Intercept: -/K m Intercept: /V max /[S] Elimination Excretion The Ultimate Fate Excretion Metabolic reactions result in more water soluble compounds, facilitating excretion Reduction in amount of parent compound available to target sites earance Volume of blood (or plasma) cleared of chemical per unit time Routes Expired air, saliva, bile, feces, urine, milk, hair Extent less important than rate All compounds eventually % excreted 2
