deals with a drug’s actions as it moves through the body.

A

Pharmacokinetics

30
Q

pharmacokinetics is also
concerned with

A

drug’s onset of action,
peak concentration level,
and duration of action

31
Q

covers a drug’s progress
from the time it’s administered, through its
passage to the tissues, until it reaches
systemic circulation.

A

Absorption

32
Q

On a cellular level, drugs are absorbed by
several means—primarily through…

A

active or
passive transport.

33
Q

is the process by which the
drug is delivered from the systemic circulation
to body tissues and fluids.

A

DISTRIBUTION

34
Q

Distribution of an
absorbed drug within the body depends on
several factors:

A

⚬ blood flow
⚬ solubility
⚬ protein binding

35
Q

is the process by which the body changes a drug from its dosage form to a more water-soluble form that can then be excreted.

A

METABOLISM or biotransformation

36
Q

Drugs can be
metabolized in several ways:

A

Active metabolites
Inactive Metabolites

37
Q

refers to the elimination of

A

decrease or increase absorption
