7. This is the Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion of drugs.
(What the body does to the drug)
1. Pharmacodynamics
2. Pharmacokinetics
3. Therapeutics - ANSWER 2. Pharmacokinetics
8. This is the Study and measurement of responses of the body to drugs.
,(What the drug does to the body)
1. Pharmacodynamics
2. Pharmacokinetics
3. Therapeutics - ANSWER 1. Pharmacodynamics
9. What is the weakest type of bond between drug and receptor?
1. Hydrogen
2. van der Waals
3. Covalent
4. Ionic - ANSWER 2. Van der Waals
10. Most drugs have molecular targets, what are the two examples of drugs that
do not?

allows for active transport of the drug from the GI tract through amino acid
receptors and thus more acyclovir gets to the site of action in the body.

route?
1. Facilitated Transport
2. Active Transport
3. Passive Diffusion - ANSWER 3. Passive Diffusion

entry of lipid soluble substances. - ANSWER False
>Capillaries have tight junctions that limit the entry of WATER soluble substances.
14. Which enzymes are ) are responsible for drug metabolism in the liver? -
ANSWER The P450 (CYP) ezymes
15. Alcohol consumption and smoking are liver enzyme inducers or inhibitors? -
ANSWER inducers:
>This can metabolize the drug more quickly resulting in a less therapeutic
outcome
16. Grapefruit juice is a liver enzyme inhibitor and people currently taking which
drugs should avoid drinking this. - ANSWER People taking statins, "ine's",
verapamil, 17 B estradiol, and dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers should
avoid grapefruit juice because it may metabolize the drug slower which may lead
to toxicity of the drug.
