PY - 2009 T2 - Pharmacology for the Physical Therapist 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.
