Dose Response Curve
Graphical representation of the relationship between the dose of a stressor and the biological response thereto.

Dose response
How a biological organism's response to a toxic substance quantitatively shifts as its overall exposure to the substance changes (e.g., a small dose of carbon monoxide may cause drowsiness; a large dose can be fatal.)(1) ...
Dose Response
Shifts in toxicological responses of an individual (such as alterations in severity) or populations (such as alterations in incidence) that are related to changes in the dose of any given substance.

dose response Changes to chemical or biochemical activity following a dose or how a biological organism's response to a toxic substance quantitatively shifts as its overall exposure to the substance changes.
Dose Response
How an organism's response to a toxic substance changes as its overall exposure to the substance changes. For example, a small dose of carbon monoxide may cause drowsiness; a large dose can be fatal. ...
Linear Dose Response in Radiation Protection relates to the zero-threshold model which predicts that every small addition of radiation exposure contributes to an increment in the probability of a Probabilistic / Stochastic effect.
Threshold Dose Response A type of response to a suspected carcinogen in which, at very low exposures, there appears to be no detectable increased risk of disease; there is a threshold below which no risk is detected.
Probability unit obtained by adding 5 to the normal deviates of a standardized normal distribution of results from a dose response study.
Note 1: Addition of 5 removes the complication of handling negative values.
