MODULE 2 Flashcards
Consider drugs in body to be in DYNAMIC STATE
Pharmacokinetic model
Important tool for analyzing drug movement quantitatively
Calculus
Used to relate the concentrations of drugs in various body organs
Differential equation
Frequently used to model the cumulative therapeutic or toxic responses of drugs
Integrated equation
Branch of calculus that involves finding the rate at which a variable
quantity is changing
Differential calculus
Reverse of differentiation
Integration
Summing up of small individual pieces under the graph
Integration process
Sum of individual areas under the graph
Definite Integral
Numerical method used in pcok to calculate AUC
Trapezoidal rule
Important method of visualizing relationship between variables.
Graph
Placed horizontal line or in abscissa (x axis)
Independent variable
Placed vertically or in ordinate (y axis)
Dependent variable
An independent variable plotted on abscissa
Time
Arranged vertically or logarithmically from left to right or bottom to top.
Values
An dependent variable plotted on the ordinate.
Drug concentration
