associated with the chemical activity of the drug-receptor interaction.
Placebo - correct answer substance that is pharmacologically inert
Double-blind experiment - correct answer type of experiment in which neither the
patient nor the observer knows the treatment received by the patient
Bioavailability - correct answer concentration of drug present in the blood that is free to
bind to specific target sites
Pharmacokinetic - correct answer factors that contribute to the administration,
absorption, distribution, binding, inactivation, and excretion of a drug
Depot binding - correct answer type of drug interaction involving binding to an inactive
site, such as to proteins in the plasma, to bone, or to fat.
Biotransformation - correct answer inactivation of a drug through a chemical change,
usually by metabolic processes in the liver
Absorption - correct answer movement of a drug from the site of administration to the
circulatory system
,First-pass effect - correct answer phenomenon in which the liver metabolizes some of
a drug before it can circulate through the body, particularly when the drug has been
taken orally.

below the skin.
Inhalation - correct answer Method that involves administration of a drug through the
lungs

mucous membrane

the skin

,Intracerebroventricular - correct answer method that involves administration of a drug
into the cerebrospinal fluid of the ventricles.
Psychoactive drugs - correct answer a chemical substance that crosses the blood-
brain barrier and acts primarily upon the central nervous system where it affects brain
function, resulting in changes in perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, and
behavior.[

membrane. They are composed of a polar head and two lipid tails.
Passive diffusion - correct answer phenomenon in which a substance, usually lipid-
soluble, moves through the cell membrane without assistance by active transport

substance on each side of a biological barrier, such as teh cell membrane
Ionization - correct answer condition involving the dissociation of a molecule into ions

Zero-order kinetics - correct answer Term used to describe a constant rate of drug
removal from the body, regardless of drug concentration in the blood.
Biotransformation - correct answer inactivation of a drug through a chemical change,
usually by metabolic processes in the liver.
