C. 1st pass hepatic metabolism
A.
What is the primary site for PO drug absorption?
A. Liver
B. Duodenom
C Stomach
D. Rectum
B. Duodenom

A. Stomach
B.Duodenom
C. Mouth
D. ascending colon
B. Duodenom
Which is true about the Duodenom?
A. Decreased Surface Area: Microvilli decrease surface area
B. Not a primary site for pro-drug cleavage
C. Pancreatic enzymes degrade protein and carbohydrates
D. Not a primary site for drug absorption
C.
A is actually incresing surface area
B. it is a primary site for pro-drug cleavage
D. it is a primary site for drug absorption
True or False
CYP enzymes affect absorption because they can be induced or inhibited
True
Where are CYP enzymes located? (select all that apply)
A. Liver
B. GI
C. Kidneys
D. Pancreas
E. Heart
F. Lungs
A, B, C, D
the ones that matter the most are in the gut lumen and liver because that is where the metabolism occurs
