***Please copy the questions from the “A Poisoning” case study, answer the questions using a different color font or print. Answer the questions using the vocabulary you learned in chapter 4. This vocabulary is also found in the video.
- Out of what material are cell membranes made?
- Describe why methylmercury and dimethylmercury are far more toxic than elemental mercury?
- Does dimethylmercury enter the body by active or passive diffusion? Which type of active or passive diffusion? Would it be facilitated or simple?
- What kind of gloves are now required when handling dimethylmercury? Why do you think they are made of two different material rather than just double gloving? Hint: It relates to the same principles for #1 & 2, but with gloves rather than the body.
- Testosterone and estrogen are available as patches. What does this tell you about these hormones?
- In general, does it make sense to deliver water soluble drugs via transdermal patches? Why or why not?
