Fastest distribution of some injectable material/medicine and with no risk of any kind can be achieved by injecting it into the
- muscles
- arteries
- veins
- lymph vessels
Answer
(3) veins
Solution
A substance injected into a vein (intravenous injection) is carried directly with venous blood to the heart and is then pumped to all parts of the body through the systemic circulation, so it is distributed fastest.
∵ Absorption from muscles is slow, arterial blood is under high pressure (risk of bleeding and of damage to the organ supplied), and lymph flows very slowly,
∴ the material should be injected into the veins.
