Document Summary
Absorption circulation is not necessarily what you originally swallowed: factors affecting absorption, acidity of the stomach where you do not have enough acid of the stomach. Arteries are not close to the surface since they need protection and bigger blood vessels have thicker walls. Metabolism: sometimes, medications are water-soluble enough that they are able to be peed out. Pharmacodynamics: dugs will either mimic or inhibit normal physiological processes or will in hibit vital processes of microbial organisms, the 4 main drug actions are depressing, stimulating, destroying cells or replacing substance (e. g: hormone replacement therapy) Agonists and antagonists: agonist: a drug when it binds to a receptor and causes a response or effect. It has intrinsic activity equal to 1: antagonist: a drug when it binds to a receptor and prevents (blocks or inhibits) a natural clients same and plateau.
