145
Q

The agonist and the antagonist competes to bind to the same receptor.

A

Competitive antagonist

146
Q

The drug binds at a site other than the agonist-binding site (also called allosteric site), changes the structure of the agonist binding site, and decreases the affinity of the agonist. As a result, the efficacy of the agonist is decreased

A

147
Q

In this type of antagonism, two different molecules working through separate receptors produce physiologically opposite effects.

A

Functional (physiological) antagonist

148
Q

a substance that has some agonistic action at a receptor but does not elicit the complete response of a true agonist.

170
Q

It is the process by which the large molecules are engulfed by the cell membrane and releases them intracellularly

Q
A
177
Q

A variable and other significant portion of absorbed
drug may become reversibly bound to plasma proteins.

A

Protein binding of drug

178
Q

It represents the drug that is bound to
the plasma proteins (albumins and globulins) and the drug in free form. It is the free
form of drug that is distributed to the tissues and fluids and takes part in producing
pharmacological effects.

A

Plasma concentration of drug (PC)

179
Q

Volume of plasma cleared off the drug by metabolism and excretion per unit
time. Protein binding reduces the amount of drug available for filtration at the glomeruli and
hence delays the excretion, thus the protein binding reduces the clearance.

A

Clearance

180

There are some specialized barriers in the body
due to which the drug will not be distributed uniformly in all the tissues.
