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.


Intravenous (IV) - correct answer method that involves administration of a drug directly
into the bloodstream by means of a vein

Topical - correct answer method that involves administration of a drug through a
mucous membrane

the skin


Epidural - correct answer method that involves administration of a drug into the

,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.[


Phospholipids - correct answer lipid molecules that are major constituents of the cell
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


Concentration gradient - correct answer difference in the amount or concentration of a
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


Blood-brain barrier - correct answer the separation between the brain capillaries and
the brain/CSF -cerebral spinal fluid.

molecules across the capillary wall


Tight junctions - correct answer connection between cells characterized by a fusing of
adjoining cell membranes

isolated from chemicals in the blood. It is responsible for inducing a vomiting response
when a toxic substance is present in the blood


Median eminence - correct answer area in the hypothalamus that is not isolated from
chemicals in the blood and where hypothalamic-releasing hormones are secreted fro

is referred to as t1/2.


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.
