one-compartment model

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.15218
Kinetic model, where the whole body is thought of as a single compartment in which a substance is distributed rapidly, achieving an equilibrium between blood and tissue immediately.
Note: In pharmacokinetics, the substance is a drug component which is assumed to be released from a dosage form and distributed instantly after absorption to reach an equilibrium between blood and tissues.
