TRANSPORT AND DISTRIBUTION
After absortion, toxicants will reach the blood, lymph or other
body fluids.
BLOOD
High
pressure

Plasma
55%; blood
cells (45%)
Major
vehicle for
transport of
toxicants
BLOOD
Toxicants are absorbed as molecules and ions.
Some toxicats at blood pH form colloid particles as
a third form in this liquid.
They have various possibilities for transport in
blood:
To be physically or chemically bound to the blood
elements, mostly erythrocytes
To be physically dissolved in plasma
To be bound to one or more types of plasma proteins
(human boy has btw 600 and 800 km2 of available
surface of plasma proteins)
