Question

About 10% of all alcohol eliminated by the body comes from?

Answer 1

The correct answer is lungs, kidneys, and perspiration. About 10% of all alcohol that you have intaken is being eliminated by the body come from the lungs, kidneys, and perspiration. Through lungs, it eliminates it through respiration. In kidneys, alcohol is being excreted through urination and for the perspiration is excreting alcohol content through sweating.

Answer 2

- 10% of the ingested ethanol is eliminated unchanged in the urine, exhaled air, sweat, saliva, tears and milk.

- Although relatively negligible, this elimination is sufficient to detect the recent intake of alcoholic beverages by the search for ethanol in exhaled air (rate in alveolar air / blood concentration = 1/2100) or in the urine ( rate in urine / blood concentration = 1.3).
