metabolite, a more soluble compound, a more potent metabolite, a less active
metabolite

44. Pharmacodynam- the relationship between the drug concentrations and the pharmacological re-
ics sponse (actions of the drug)

Action at which that cell or tissue functions, or it can modify the strength of function of
that cell or tissue
46. Receptor a reactive site on the surface or inside of a cell. most commonly a protein structure
within the cell membrane.
