Once a toxin enters the body, it may undergo absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). Here's a brief overview of each phase: - Absorption: The toxin enters the bloodstream. - Distribution: The toxin is transported to various organs and tissues. - Metabolism: The body attempts to break down the toxin, often in the liver. - Excretion: The toxin or its metabolites are eliminated from the body, typically through urine, feces, or sweat.
