Dose response curve
Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-008445
Graphical representation of the relationship between the dose of a stressor and the biological response thereto.
1. Similar to concentration-response curve except that the dose (i.e. the quantity) of the chemical administered to the organism is known. The curve is plotted as Dose versus Response.
2. A graphical presentation of the relationship between degree of exposure to a chemical (dose) and observed biological effect or response.
3. Graphical presentation of a dose-response relationship.
4. A graphical representation of the quantitative relationship between administered, applied, or internal dose of a chemical or agent, and a specific biological response to that chemical or agent.
5. Graphical representation of the relationship between the dose of a stressor and the biological response thereto.
