The drug is excreted

The drug is absorbed

All of the above

The drug performs its desired function

carrier-mediated transport 

all the above

endocytosis and exocytosis 

passive diffusion 

When a drug is administered by any route except by injection, it encounters an epithelium at the site of administration.

all of the above

Most drug molecules will not be able to cross an epithelial membrane paracellularly because they are too large to diffuse through epithelial tight junctions.

The internal cavities and external surfaces of the body are lined with a tissue called the epithelium.

Excretion

Elimination

Emanation

Exudation

Drug can enter the vascular space only if administered by intravenous injection

Distribution is the transfer of drug between the vascular space and the extravascular space.

all of the above

Drug administered systemically relies on the lymphatic system to take it to the site of action and to other tissues in the body

The body excretes drugs through fluids such as urine, saliva, bile, milk, sweat, and the exhaled air

Kidneys are involved to some extent in the excretion of almost every drug or drug metabolite 

Excretion is a process by which a drug is eliminated from the body without any chemical change

All of the above

Metabolism

Mesomerism

Mechanism

Matrix metalloproteinase

A drug must reach its intended target at the site of action to exert its intended action

All of the above

Most systemic drugs are given orally because patients prefer this administration method.

Administration by injection is usually reserved for drugs that cannot be absorbed orally, or in situations where a patient cannot take an oral medication

Pharmaceutical drugs are usually incorporated into dosage forms or drug delivery systems

all of the above

Most patients prefer to take drugs by injection than by other routes.

Parenteral administration avoids the epithelial barriers that can be difficult for some drugs to cross.

Parenteral administration term is reserved for routes in which a drug is ingested into the body.

Sublingual route

Ophthalmic route

Rectal route

Transdermal route
