Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sublingual and transdermal refer to different routes of administration of medications. Sublingual medications are placed under the tongue and absorbed through the mucous membrane, while transdermal medications are absorbed through the skin. The relationship between these two terms is that they both involve absorption through a specific membrane. Similarly, the relationship between "tongue" and "skin" in choice A is that they are both specific membranes through which a substance can be absorbed. The other choices do not have a clear relationship to sublingual or transdermal.
