Pharmacology - CORRECT ANSWER the study of the biological effects of chemicals
Drugs - CORRECT ANSWER the chemicals introduced into the body to cause some sort of
change
Pharmacotherapeutics or clinical pharmacology - CORRECT ANSWER branch of pharmacology
that uses drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose disease
Types of sources - CORRECT ANSWER 1. plant source
2. animal source
3. mineral source
4. synthetic & semi synthetic source
6. recombinant DNA technology
Pharmacological class - CORRECT ANSWER Classification describing how the drug exerts its
action on the body
,- Describes the physiologic changes the class exerts & what adverse affects one might anticipate
Therapeutic Class - CORRECT ANSWER Classification describing the intended effect on the body
-Describes the symptom management of the drug & the goal or outcomes when given
