AB The  term  pharmacokinetics  denotes  the  effects  of  biologic  systems  on  both  endogenous  ligands  and  drugs.  Almost  all  drugs,  except  those  delivered  directly  to  the  target  tissue  where  the  proposed  receptors  are  located,  are  absorbed  from  the  site  of  administration,  transported  by  the  circulation  to  various  tissues  in  the  body,  and  then  arrive  at  the  target  tissue.  At  the  same  time,  the  body  attempts  to  convert  these  drugs  into  forms  that  allow  for  easier  removal  from  the  body.  This  sequence  represents  the  absorption,  distribution,  biotransformation,  elimination,  and  excretion  of  drugs.
