Chapter 1-4
4 types of agonist receptors - correct answerIon channels, G-protein coupled, enzyme
coupled, intracellular
Absorption - correct answerthe movement of a drug from the site of administration to
bloodstream; intake of a drug into the system
Active transport - correct answercarriers grab the drug and use energy to move it across
the membrane
Administration - correct answerways of drug delivery
Agonist - correct answerdrug binds to a receptor and activates the receptor
Antacids - correct answeraffects pH (gastric)
Antagonist - correct answerdrug binds to receptor and does not activate
Bioavailability - correct answerthe portion of the drug that reaches the bloodstream
Biotransformation - correct answerthe chemical changes that occur to a drug following
administration
Competitive - correct answerthe drug comes onto and off of the receptor, so if another
agent that can bind to the receptor is present, they will compete
Continuous dose response curve - correct answerA graph of increasing response to
increasing drug concentration or dose
Continuous infusion - correct answerIntroduction of a substance such as IV fluids or
interstitial fluids over a period of time without interruption
Distribution - correct answerthe transfer of a drug from one location to another within the
body; where the drug goes following absorption
Dosing frequency - correct answerthe time interval between doses when a drug is given
intermittently
Drug - correct answerany chemical agent that when taken into a living organism may
modify one or more of its functions
Drug regimen simplification - correct answerusing same dosing schedule; pill
organizers; blister packs
