Describe the sequence of events that a drug undergoes from administration to
excretion - ANSWER Drug is absorbed (or placed directly) into the bloodstream,
, the drug may bind with plasma in the blood or may exist in free state, circulating
blood distributes drug to capillary level where it leaves circulation and enters
interstitial fluid. it bathes the cell and allows drug to bind to cell surface receptors or
enter the cell. It then exits the cell and moves back into interstitial fluid, reenters
circulation, and is transported to liver for metabolism. The metabolite is then
transported to kidneys for excretion.
