Question
Chapter 18, Problem 43RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The value of depolarization of each slow wave.
Introduction:
The interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are responsible for producing slow waves within the intestine. These waves are propagated by the network of ICC, which are electrically joined to each other in the intestinal wall. The smooth muscles generate action potential and produce contraction in response to depolarization.

A new drug was developed and found to be primarily eliminated by hepatic
metabolism; i.e., the drug was not excreted in urine or secreted into bile.
metakof the metabolic reaction is 2 mg/L and its Vmax is 125 mg/d. Using
the Michaelis-Menten equation, calculate the rate of metabolism when the
plasma drug concentration [C,] is as shown in the table below.

Plot a graph with concentration on the X-axis and rate of metabolism
on the Y-axis. Note how the reaction rate increases proportionately with
plasma concentration at low concentrations (first-order kinetics), and then
approaches saturation (Vmax) at high concentrations.
