As the name suggests, a multiple-compartment PK [pharmacokinetic] model consists of a central compartment and one or several peripheral compartments, though the compartments do not represent specific anatomical or physiological structures. In general, the central compartment represents plasma(or blood) with or without richly perfused tissues, such as heart, liver, brain, etc.,... and the peripheral compartments represent slowly or less perfused tissues, such as skin, muscle, bone and fat.... In a two-compartment model... upon administration, a substance is introduced into the central compartment that is followed by its distribution between the central and a peripheral compartment; however, equilibration of the concentration of the substance between the two compartments is not anticipated to be achieved instantaneously. Once equilibration is reached, the elimination of the substance is assumed to occur from the central compartment. 4, record 1, English, - two%2Dcompartment%20pharmacokinetic%20model

There are three general ways to investigate the dynamics of energy in nature. [The] broadest approach is ecosystem analysis, in which the amount of energy transferred between the consumer compartments in an ecosystem is quantified. Since the inputs and outputs of each compartment can be calculated, this approach makes it possible to draw up a balance sheet for energy flow. 1, record 2, English, - ecosystem%20analysis
