Pharmacodynamics refers to how a drug affects the body, including its mechanism of action and therapeutic effects. Pharmacokinetics describes how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and eliminates a drug. Drug absorption determines how quickly a drug enters the bloodstream, while drug metabolism focuses on how the liver breaks down drugs. Drug elimination is the process of removing the drug from the body, often through urine or feces.

Cytochrome P450 - The general name for a large class of liver enzymes that play a significant
role in drug metabolism and drug interactions



decrease - An enzyme inhibitor will ____ (increase/decrease) production of said enzyme



decreased - hypothermia causes (increased/decreased) metabolism



diffusion - Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower
concentration.



distribution - how well the drug penetrates the targeted tissue



duration - The period of time which the drug concentration is sufficient to elicit a therapeutic
response



effect - you should always titrate your drugs to ___



excreted - when a drug is ionized in the kidneys it will be ______?



excretion - how the drug is eliminated from the body

, First Order - which order of kinetics is based on the half-life model?




0% - what percentage of CO do vessel-poor tissues receive?



19% - what percentage of CO does muscle and skin receive?



4-5 - how many half lives are required before an infusion reaches the steady state?



4-5 - how many half lives are required to reach a drug concentration around 5%?



6% - what percentage of CO does fat receive?



75% - what percentage of the CO do vessel-rich tissues receive?



Absorption - the bioavailability of a drug is based on



absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion - 4 phases of pharmacokinetics
