| Description: | Module on the Pharmacokinetics of Cobra bites. Most people die within 30 minutes of being bitten by a cobra--unless they receive an injection of antivenom, that is. With that cheery thought in mind, let's take a look at how the human body is affected by cobra venom, how antivenom works, and how one might use chemical engineering principles to model these interactions. This module illustrates methods outlined in Chapter Six. This module covers introduction, background, respiration, venom, antivenom, reactions, equations, problems, references and a link to Chapter 6. |
