How poison is carried round the body
Once a poison gets into the blood it is carried to the whole body as the blood is pumped round the body by the heart.
How poison is broken down by the body
Some poisons are changed by the body into other chemicals. These are called metabolites, and may be less poisonous or more poisonous than the original substance. The metabolites are more easily passed out of the body than the original chemicals. These changes take place mostly in the liver.
How poison leaves the body
Unchanged poisons or their metabolites usually leave the body in the urine, faeces or sweat, or in the air that a person breathes out. The movement of poison from the blood into urine takes place in the kidneys, and the movement of poison from blood into breathed-out air takes place in the lungs. Poison in the faeces may have passed down the gut without being absorbed into the blood or it may have been absorbed into the blood and then passed out into the gut again. Some poisons, like DDT, pass into body tissues and organs where they may stay for a long time.
