• Sublingual (Under tongue)
• Translingually (On the tongue)
• Gastric
• Intravenous
• Oral
• Rectal and Vaginal
• Respiratory

Question 13

is the study of the interactions
between the chemical components of living systems and the foreign chemicals, including drugs that enter those systems.

Answer 13

Pharmacodynamics

Question 14

Drugs usually work in one of four ways:

Answer 14

• To replace or act as substitutes for
  missing chemicals
• To increase or stimulate certain
  cellular activities
• To depress or slow cellular
  activities
• To interfere with functioning of foreign cells, such as invading
  microorganisms or neoplasms leading
  to cell death (drugs that act in this way
  are called chemotherapeutic agents)

Question 15

What type of drug that interfere with functioning of foreign cells?

Answer 15

chemotherapeutic agents

Question 16

Specific areas on cell
membranes

Answer 16

Receptor Sites

Question 17

Interact directly with receptor sites to cause the same activity that natural chemicals would cause at that site

Answer 17

Agonists

Question 18

How do drugs act in different ways to achieve results? (Specifically in Receptor sites)

Answer 18

a. Agonists
b. Inhibitors
c. Competitive antagonist
d. Non competitive antagonist

Question 19

Prevent breakdown of natural chemicals that are
stimulating the receptor site

Answer 19

Inhibitors

Question 20

React with receptor sites to block normal stimulation,
producing no effect

Answer 20

Competitive antagonist

Question 21

React with specific receptor sites on a cell and by reacting there prevent the reaction of another chemical with a different receptor site on that cell

Answer 21

Non competitive antagonist

Question 22

Molecules of drug A react with specific
receptor sites on cells of effector organs and change the cells’ activity

Answer 22

Agonist interaction with receptor site
on cell

Question 23

Drug A and drug C have an affinity for
the same receptor sites and compete
for these sites; drug C has a greater
affinity, occupies more of the sites, and
antagonizes drug A.

Answer 23

Competitive antagonism.

Question 24

Drug D reacts with a receptor site that is different from the receptor site for drug A but still somehow prevents drug A from binding with its receptor sites.

Answer 24

Noncompetitive antagonism.

Question 25

Enzyme systems work in a (Answer), with one enzyme activating another, and then that enzyme activating another, until a cellular reaction eventually occurs.

Answer 25

Cascade fashion

Question 26

The ability of a drug to
attack only those
systems found in foreign
cells

Answer 26

Selective Toxicity
