Question 1 of 5
Distribution of a drug to various tissues depends on the amount of cardiac output to each type of tissue. Which tissue would receive the highest amount of cardiac output and thus the highest amount of a drug?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The tissue that would receive the highest amount of cardiac output and thus the highest amount of a drug is the myocardium. Highly perfused tissues include vital organs like the brain, heart, kidneys, adrenal glands, and liver. The myocardium, being part of the heart, receives a significant amount of cardiac output.
Choices A (skin) and B (adipose tissue) are poorly perfused tissues and would not receive high amounts of cardiac output.
Choice C (skeletal muscle) is also less perfused compared to the myocardium.
