1. Absorption = I defined absorption as the process when a part of thing passing to another thing.

For
example, if we put tissue in an oily fried chicken we observed that the tissue absorbed the oil.
2. Active transport = is a process of moving materials through the cell membrane from lower concentration
to high concentration that requires energy.
3. Affinity = is a measure of the tightness with which a drug binds to the receptor.
4. Biotransformation =  is the process by which a substance changes from one chemical to another by a
chemical reaction within the body.
5. Blood-brain barrier =  is the protection of our brain against circulating toxins or pathogens that could
cause brain infections, while at the same time allowing vital nutrients to reach the brain.
6. Conjugates = it makes most drugs more soluble and easily excreted by the kidneys.
7. Diffusion = The movement of molecules from a area in which they are highly concentrated to a area in
which they are less concentrated.
8. Distribution = The amount of drug available give to the target organ to produce action.  
9. Drug-protein complexes = increases the metabolic activity of an enzyme either by
binding to the enzyme and activating it, or by increasing the expression of the gene
coding for the enzyme.
10. Excretion =  a process in which the drug passes through the kidney to the bladder and
ultimately into the urine.
11.  placental barrier = plays an essential role in fetal development and health by tightly
regulating the exchange of endogenous and exogenous materials between the mother
and the fetus.
12. First pass effect = The first pass effect is a phenomenon of drug metabolism whereby the
concentration of a drug, specifically when administered orally, is greatly reduced before it
reaches the systemic circulation.
13. loading dose = is an initial higher dose of a drug that may be given at the beginning of a
course of treatment before dropping down to a lower maintenance dose. 
14. maintenance dose = is the maintenance rate [mg/h] of drug administration equal to the rate
of elimination at steady state.
15. Metabolism = is a term that is used to describe all chemical reactions involved in
maintaining the living state of the cells and the organism.
16. Minimum effective concern = is the minimum plasma concentration of a drug needed
to achieve sufficient drug concentration at the receptors to produce the desired
pharmacologic response, if drug molecules in plasma are in equilibrium with drug
molecules in the various tissues.
17. Passive transport =  Passive transport does not require energy input.
An example of passive transport is diffusion, the movement of molecules from an area
of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Carrier proteins and channel
proteins are involved in facilitated diffusion.
18. Pharmacokinetics = pharmacokinetic testing can ensure that drugs do not fail during
clinical trials for reasons that could have been predicted and avoided.
19. Plasma half life = This is the period of time required for the concentration or amount of
drug in the body to be reduced by one-half. 
20. Therapeutic range = is the dosage range or blood plasma or serum concentration usually
expected to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
