Use the information in the graph to help you answer the questions.

Four drug abusers each take a drug. One person injects 100 milligrams of a drug into a vein, one person smokes 100 milligrams of the drug, one person snorts 100 milligrams of the drug, and one person swallows or ingests 100 milligrams of the drug. Who will experience the greatest effect of the drug? The individual with the greatest concentration of drug in the brain will have the greatest effect.
Who will experience the quickest effect from the drug?
Who will experience the least effect from the drug?
Who will experience the slowest effect from the drug?
Tobacco smokers can use nicotine patches to help them quit smoking. The nicotine patches help the smoker slowly lower the amount of nicotine that enters the body. How does the nicotine in the patch enter the body?
Explain why the different ways of taking drugs cause different responses.

Line graph showing how drug concentration in the brain changes over time depending on the route of administration. The x-axis is labeled "time after drug administration," and the y-axis is labeled "concentration of drug in brain." Four curves compare different routes: inhalation produces the fastest rise and earliest peak, followed closely by injection with a slightly later peak. Snorting/snuffing results in a slower rise and a moderate peak. Ingestion has the slowest onset, reaches the lowest and broadest peak, and remains in the brain the longest before gradually declining.

Slide with a line graph comparing drug concentration in the brain over time for four routes of drug administration. At the top, the slide reads, "Use the information in the graph below to help you answer the questions." The x-axis is labeled "time after drug administration," and the y-axis is labeled "concentration of drug in brain." Four color-coded curves are shown: inhalation (red) rises most rapidly and reaches the earliest peak before declining quickly; injection (blue) peaks shortly after inhalation and declines more gradually; snorting/snuffing (green) has a later, moderate peak and then tapers off; and ingestion (purple) rises the slowest, reaches the broadest and lowest peak, and remains elevated the longest before gradually returning to baseline. The graph illustrates that inhalation and injection deliver the drug to the brain more quickly than snorting/snuffing or ingestion.

A. Through the lungs.

B. Through the skin.

List one of the ways of taking drugs and the response.

Directions:

Use the information in the graph to help you answer the questions.

Circle Yes if the sentence is correct and No if it is incorrect.

The person who injects the drug will experience the greatest effect because the drug reaches the highest concentration in the brain.

Yes No

The person who swallows (ingests) the drug will experience the quickest effect.

Yes No

The person who swallows (ingests) the drug will experience the least effect.

Yes No

The person who swallows (ingests) the drug will experience the slowest effect

Yes No

Nicotine from a nicotine patch enters the body through the skin.

Yes No

Different ways of taking drugs cause different responses because they enter the body at different speeds.

Yes No
