  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002299",
  "term": "Compartmental analysis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A mathematical modeling technique used to describe the movement of substances within a biological system by dividing the system into a series of interconnected compartments. Each compartment represents a distinct physiological space or chemical form, and the transfer of a substance between these compartments is described by rate constants. This method is frequently applied in pharmacokinetics and toxicokinetics to analyze drug distribution and elimination.",
