Lesson 1
Drug : substance that act on biological system at the chemical ( molecular ) level and alter their functions
Drug receptors : the molecular component of the body with which drugs interact to bring about their effect
Distribution phase : the phase of drug movement from the site of administration into the tissues
Elimination phase : the phase of drug inactivation or removal from the body by metabolism or excretion
Endocytosis : absorption of material across a cell membrane by enclosing it in cell membrane material and pulling it into the cell
Exocytosis : expulsion of material from vesicles in the cell into the extracellular space
Permeation : movement of a molecule through the biologic medium
Pharmacodynamics : the actions of a drug on the body, including receptor interactions, dose-response phenomena, and mechanisms of therapeutic and toxic actions
Pharmacokinetics : the actions of the body on the drug, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. Elimination of a drug may be achieved by metabolism or by excretion. Biodisposition is a term sometimes used to describe the processes of metabolism and excretion
Transporter : a specialized molecule, usually a protein, that carries a drug, transmitter, or other molecule across a membrane in which it is not permeable, eg, Na/K ATPase, serotonin reuptake transporter, etc
