includes absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion
What is biotransformation? metabolism
passive diffusion drugs dissolve, cross the cell membrane following the concentration
gradient
How do most drugs cross the cell via passive diffusion
membrane?
- size of drug molecule
Name factors that affect the

drug's ability to cross the cell
- polarity of the drug or molecule
membrane via passive
- degree of ionization
diffusion.
- small
Name 3 characteristics of drugs
- predominately lipid soluble
that will be transported via
- uncharged
passive diffusion
- carrier mediated
active transport - moves against the concentration gradient
- requires energy
What is pharmacology? the study of drugs and their actions
the pH at which half the molecules are ionized and half are unionized.
What is the pKa of a drug?
*a strong acid will have a pKa of less than zero
What does the ionization of drugs whether the drug has the ability (how readily it is able) to cross
tell us? membranes/barriers
