2 injected: This is the right answer here. To "inject" means to introduce into the bloodstream with a needle or syringe. Synonyms include to "give a shot" and "to vaccinate". Example: "The nurse injected me with an anti-malaria drug before I went on holiday".
3 excrete: This is the correct verb in the correct tense. To "excrete" means to eliminate foreign substances or waste from the body. To "perspire", "defecate", "urinate", "ejaculate"... these are all examples of bodily excretions. You may be reading this very early in the morning, so we won't continue with any more detailed descriptions.
