excretion in the body
"What the body does to the drug"
Factors that affect drug absorption (5) - Answer-Rate of dissolution
Surface area
Blood flow
Lipid solubility
PH partitioning
Factors that affect drug distribution (4) - Answer-Blood flow to tissues
Ability to exit vascular system
Blood-brain barrier
Protein-binding capacity
Pharmacodynamics - Answer-The study of biochemical and physiologic effects of drugs
on the body and the molecular mechanisms by which those effects are produced
"What the body does to the drug"
Phamacodynamics: 3 mechanisms of action - Answer-Receptor
Enzyme
Non-selective interactions (i.e. chemo)
Types of drug therapy (7) - Answer-Acute

excretion
Onset of action - Answer-The time it takes for medication to take effect
