Select the true statement based on the solubility characteristic also known as the blood:gas partition coefficient.
A) The higher the blood:gas partition coefficient, the more soluble the drug is in the blood.
B) The more soluble anesthetics have a longer onset of action because they require more anesthetic to dissolve in the blood before enough drug molecules are available to
C) cross into the brain, where they can modulate neuronal membranes to produce a state of anesthesia.
D) Nitrous oxide, desflurane, and sevoflurane have blood:gas partition coefficients that are less than the blood:gas partition coefficients of halothane and enflurane.
E) All of these are correct.
