Questions and Answers

What is the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) in the context of toxicology?

  • The dose that causes immediate and severe adverse effects
  • The highest dose at which no adverse effects are observed (correct)
  • The dose at which some adverse effects are observed but not significant harm
  • The lowest dose at which adverse effects are observed

At what level does the term 'response' in toxicology refer to observable symptoms or health effects?

  • Molecular Level
  • Organism Level (correct)
  • Organ Level
  • Cellular Level

Which primary route of entry involves breathing in toxic substances?

  • Ingestion
  • Inhalation (correct)
  • Injection
  • Dermal (Skin) Contact

What does it mean when receptors in the body become saturated in the context of toxicology?
