Question 1 of 5
Complete the following sentence using the options in the drop down selection. _____ Is what the body does with the drug versus ____ which is what the drug does to the body.
Correct Answer: D,E
Rationale: The correct answer is D, Pharmacokinetics, and E, Pharmacodynamics. Pharmacokinetics refers to what the body does to the drug (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion), while Pharmacodynamics refers to what the drug does to the body (mechanism of action, effects). This differentiation is crucial in understanding how drugs work in the body.
Choice A, Affinity, refers to the strength of binding between a drug and its target.
Choice B, Efficacy, refers to the maximum effect a drug can produce.
Choice C, Biotransformation, is the process of converting a drug into a metabolite.
Therefore, choices A, B, and C are not directly related to the specific actions of the body and the drug as described in the original sentence.
