◉ Pharmacodynamics
Answer: Study of the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs
and their mechanisms of action i.e. the study of what a drug does to
the body. It describes the therapeutic effects of drugs (pain relief,
blood pressure reduction, their side effects and their sites of action.
◉ Pharmacokinetics
Answer: Study of how a drug is processed by the body, with
emphasis on the time required for absorption, duration of action,
distribution, and method of excretion. The study of how the body
affects drugs.
◉ Drug distribution & elimination
Answer: Drug delivery systems, route of administration , modes of
excretion.
◉ Plasma
Answer: The liquid portion of the blood that carries proteins and
other substances
,◉ Organs
Answer: Specialized cells and tissues grouped together to perform
specific body function for a common purpose. (Kidney, heart,
intestines, and skin)
◉ Nucleus
Answer: Brain of the cell that regulates all activities.
◉ Proteins
Answer: A nutrient made up of of chains of amino acids
◉ Fats
Answer: A nutrient stored in special body tissues as a great source of
reserve energy
◉ Carbohydrates
Answer: A nutrient that is the body's immediate source of energy.
It's broken down to glucose and used for immediate metabolic
reactions.
◉ Vitamins
,Answer: A nutrient substance necessary for growth, development,
and normal regulation of metabolic processes. Must be taken from
outside the body.
◉ Minerals
Answer: A nutrient necessary for bodily purposes such as the
balance of body fluid
◉ Water is NOT a nutrient
Answer: True
◉ Body's Major Systems
Answer: Cardiovascular, Respiratory, nervous, musculoskeletal,
reproductive, immune
◉ Absorption
Answer: How the drug passes from its side of administration into
the bloodstream
◉ Distribution
Answer: How the drug is dispersed among the organs after
absorption into the blood
, ◉ Metabolism
Answer: How the active part of a drug is metabolized into a more
water-soluble compound that can be readily excreted by the kidneys
◉ Excretion
Answer: How the drug is eliminated from the body. Usually drugs
are eliminated via urine. They can also be excreted through the
lungs, skin, or breast milk.
◉ It takes about 10 years for a drug to hit the market
Answer: True
◉ Routes of drug administration
Answer: Pg 26-29
◉ Seven rights of drug administration
Answer: pg 30
◉ Bioavailability
Answer: how quickly and how much of a drug reaches its intended
target site of action
◉ Bioequivalent
