San Diego State University Psy 365 Drugs and Behavior Gilbert
SDSU Exam 1 || All Accurately Answered.
Pharmacokinetics correct answers The study of the movement of drugs through the body
How much of the drug gets absorbed into the bloodstream if its taken orally? correct answers 75-
80%
Routes of drug absorption correct answers Orally
Rectally
Inhalation
Transdermal
Absorbed through mucus membrane
Injection(intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous)
Which route of absorption gets to the brain faster? correct answers Inhalation
Which route of absorption goes directly into the bloodstream? correct answers Intravenous
Which route of absorption is the slowest? correct answers Transdermal
Organ charged with drug metabolization correct answers Liver
Organ charged with drug excretion correct answers Lungs, small intestine, kidneys
Blood circulation 1 correct answers Blood coming from the body enters the right side of the heart
through the right atrium, and is then pumped into the right ventricle
, Blood circulation 2 correct answers Right ventricle then pumps blood into the lungs via the
pulmonary artery
Blood circulation 3 correct answers Oxygenated blood is then pumped back into the heart
through the left atrium and then into the left ventricle, which then gets pumped into the aorta
Blood circulation 4 correct answers Aorta then carries the blood to the rest of the body and the

How do urine and hair analyses for drugs differ? correct answers Urine tests can be used to check
chronic and recent drug use, since they can detect drugs within hours of use. Hair follicle tests
can be used to check for long term chronic use.
Genetics affecting metabolism correct answers Certain ethnicities have a problem metabolizing
and breaking down certain drugs (ex: some Asians have problems metabolyzing alcohol)
Physiology affecting metabolism correct answers The body gets used to metabolizing a drug
after prolonged/chronic use and so the body eventually gets faster at metabolizing the same drug
much faster than it did the first time.
Environment affecting metabolism correct answers the food present in your stomach at the time
you take the drug, since certain foods such as grape fruit, can interfere with
absoprtion/metabolization
Central nervous system correct answers Made up of the brain and the spinal cord
Peripheral nervous system correct answers Made up of the somatic and autonomic system
