Answer:
[tex]1000 ml[/tex] of blood plasma was “cleared”
Explanation:
Given,
Concentration of a person’s blood cortisol [tex]= 10[/tex]µg/mL
The amount of cortisol excreted from the body in a period of 24 hour [tex]= 10[/tex]mg
The volume of blood plasma cleared during this time period is equal to
amount of cortisol excreted from the body divided by Concentration of a person’s blood cortisol
The above definition could be represented as following-
volume of blood plasma cleared [tex]= \frac{A}{B} \\[/tex]
Where A represents amount of cortisol excreted from the body
while B represents the concentration of a person’s blood cortisol
Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -
[tex]= \frac{10 * 10^{-3}g}{10*10^{-6}\frac{g}{ml} } \\= 1000 ml[/tex]
[tex]1000 ml[/tex] of blood plasma was “cleared”
