Psychopharmacology- Drugs And The
Brain Questions With Answers.
Psychopharmacology - ANSWER- Study of the effects of drugs on the nervous system
and behavior
Pharmacokinetics - ANSWER- study of absorption distribution, metabolism and
elimination
they are absorbed into the bloodstream and distributed to site of action - ANSWER-
drugs only have an effect if
when they are excreted or metabolized into a compound that can be eliminated from the
body - ANSWER- When will the effects of drugs begin to disappear
IV injection, Intraperitoneal injection, intramuscular injection, subcutaneous injection,
oral ingestion, sublingual administration, intrarectal, inhalation, tropical administration,
intracerebral - ANSWER- Routes to administer drugs
IV injection - ANSWER- Fastest administration of drug is
oral ingestion - ANSWER- Most common form of administration of drugs is
lipid-soluble - ANSWER- In order for a drug to pass through the Blood-brain barrier they
must be
water-soluble substances - ANSWER- the Blood brain barrier dos not allow what form of
substances to pass through
It is more lipid-soluble and reaches the site of action more quickly due to an intense
rush - ANSWER- What is special about heroin?
enzymes either in the brain, blood, or in the liver - ANSWER- What deactivates drugs?
tolerance - ANSWER- the decrease in the effectiveness of a drug that is administered
often, if increased amount of the same drug are needed to produce the desired effect
our body to compensate for the loss of optimal value by producing opposite effects that
the drug is producing, causing one to ingest more to reach a higher level of effect -
ANSWER- What does tolerance activate
1. when tolerance is increased either the receptors decrease in numbers or the
readiness of which two molecules bind together decreases
