Teratogenic Drug
ter·a·to·gen·ic |
Medication that may deform or kill the fetus
|
|
pharmacokinetics
phar·ma·co·ki·net·ics |
the process (study) of how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted.
|
|
pharmacodynamics
phar·ma·co·dy·nam·ics |
how drugs interacts with the body to cause its effects.
|
|
active transport
|
requires the use of energy to move a substance.
|
|
Example of active transport
|
Na+ - K+ pump
Protein pump that actively moves potassium ions into cell and sodium ions out of the cell. Because this movement goes against the ions' concentration gradients,it must use energy. |
|
passive transport
|
movement of a substance without the use of energy.
|
|
Diffusion
|
the movement of solute in the solution from area of an higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
|
|
osmosis
|
movement of solvent (usually water) in a solution from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher concentration.
|
|
Pharmacokinetic Process
|
Absorption
Distribution Biotransformation Elimination |
|
Ionize
|
to become electrically charged or polar
|
|
bioavailability
|
the amount of drug that is still active when it reaches its target tissue
|
|
metabolism
|
the body's breaking down chemicals into different chemicals.
|
|
name given to the "metabolism" of drugs?
|
Biotransformation
|
|
Biotransformation effects
|
1-it can transform the drug into a more or less active metabolite
2-it can make the drug more water soluble (being dissolved) to facilitate (to make easier) elimination. |
