Why does high blood gas partition coefficient of a inhalational anaesthetic drug mean slower induction of anesthesia?

High blood gas partition coefficient of a drug corresponds to higher solubility of the drug in blood leading to high concentration of the drug in blood with respect to gas (air in alveoli). If the ...
