distribution? Rate of excretion? Correct Answer-• The % of drug bound
to albumin is determined by strength of attraction between them
• Only un-bound (free) drugs can leave the vascular space and reach
target tissues
• The portion of the drug that is protein bound is inactive
• Only free drugs are active drugs that can exert a pharmacological effect

Correct Answer-yes they will pass the BBB more easily
first-pass effect: Correct Answer-Where the portal circulation serves to
protect the body from systemic effects of ingested toxins by delivering

greatly reduced before it reaches the systemic circulation)
peak level: Correct Answer-Highest plasma drug level that indicate the
rate of absorption
