The blood then distributes it to the capillary level where the drug goes into the interstitial fluid. the interstitial fluid coats the cell or binds with surface receptors. The drug then exits the cell and moves back to the interstitial fluid where it reenters circulation and is metabolized in the liver and sent to the kidneys to be excreted List and describe the routes used for administration of drugs - Answer -intravenous (IV) - IV produces most rapid onset accompanied by the shortest duration Intramuscular (IM) - IM produces slower onset of action but longer duration of action Subcutaneous (SC) - SQ produces slower onset of action but slightly longer duration than IM Intradermal (ID) - primarily for testing for tuberculosis and allergies Intraperitoneal (IP) -> abdominal cavity; used to administer fluids, blood, and other medications when normal routes are not available Intaarterial (IA) -> artery; seldom used Intraarticular -> joint; used primarily to treat inflammatory conditions of the joint Intacardiac -> chest wall directly into chambers of heart - provides immediate access to the bloodstream and ensures that the drug is delivered quickly to all tissues Intramedullary -> directly into bone marrow; bones most used are femur and humerus; used to provide blood or fluids to animals with very small or damaged veins or for treatment of animals with very low blood pressure Epidural/subdural -> epidural: outside the dura mater but inside the spinal canal Subdural -> inside the dura mater (also called intrathecal route) biotransformation - Answer -the body's ability to change a drug from the form in which it was administered into a form that can be eliminated from the body list common chemical reactions involved in biotransformation - Answer -Oxidation - loss of electrons Reduction - gain of electrons Hydrolysis - splitting of the drug molecule and addition of a water molecule to each of the split portions Conjugation - the addition of glucuronic acid or similar compounds to the drug molecule factors that alter drug metabolism - Answer -species, age, nutritional status, tissue storage, health status kidneys excrete drugs by - Answer -Glomerular filtration: glomerulus acts like a sieve to filter drug metabolites from the blood into the glomerular filtrate, which is eliminated as urine Tubular secretion - kidney tubule cells secrete metabolites from the capillaries surrounding the tubule and into the glomerular filtrate, which becomes urine list routes of drug excretion - Answer -kidneys, liver(bile ->small intestines ->fecal), lungs(gas goes through blood -> alveoli -> expired air), Some may be actively secreted across the intestinal mucosa into the intestine for elimination, Some drugs are eliminated through sweat and saliva affinity - Answer -the tendency of a drug to combine with a receptor
