the body.

The rate of absorption refers to how quickly a substance is taken up and enters the bloodstream from the site of administration, such as the gastrointestinal tract. This process is a critical step in the transportation of substances through the body because absorption is necessary for the substance to reach its target tissues or organs.

When we measure the rate of absorption, we are essentially evaluating how efficiently a substance is being transported from one point in the body to another. A faster rate of absorption indicates that the substance is being transported more quickly through the body, while a slower rate of absorption suggests that transportation may be hindered or delayed.

By focusing on the rate of absorption, we can assess how effectively a substance is being transported through the body and determine if there are any issues or inefficiencies in the transportation process. This information can be valuable for understanding how a substance is being distributed within the body and whether adjustments need to be made to improve its transportation to specific target sites.
