3. | Method that involves administration of a drug into the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the spinal cord. |
4. | Methods of drug administration that do not use the gastrointestinal system, such as intravenous, inhalation, intramuscular, transdermal, etc |
5. | Movement of lipid-soluble materials across a biological barrier without assistance based on its concentration gradient, from higher to lower concentration. (2 Words) |
8. | Method that involves administration of a drug into the brain tissue. |
10. | Application of DNA that encodes a specific protein to increase or block expression of the gene product to correct a clinical condition. (2 Words) |
12. | Area in the hypothalamus that is not isolated from chemicals in the blood and where hypothalamic-releasing hormones are secreted for transport to the anterior pituitary gland.Area in the hypothalamus that is not isolated from chemicals in the blood and where hypothalamic-releasing hormones are secreted for transport to the anterior pituitary gland. (2 Words) |
14. | Physical or behavioral changes not associated with the chemical activity of the drug–receptor interaction but with certain unique characteristics of the individual such as present mood or expectations of drug effects. (3 Words) |
15. | Drugs that bind to a receptor but have low efficacy, producing weaker biological effects than a full agonist. Hence they act as agonists at some receptors and antagonists at others, depending on the regional concentration of full agonist. These were previously called mixed agonist-antagonists. (2 Words) |
18. | Tolerance to a specific drug can reduce the effectiveness of a another drug in the same class. |
20. | Molecule that selectively binds to a receptor. |
25. | Reduction in liver enzyme activity associated with a specific drug. (2 Words) |
26. | Term used to describe exponential elimination of drugs from the bloodstream. (3 Words) |
29. | Type of tolerance to a drug that is characterized by a reduced amount of drug available at the target tissue, often as a result of more-rapid drug metabolism. It is sometimes also called drug disposition tolerance. (2 Words) |
31. | Movement of a drug from the site of administration to the circulatory system. |
32. | Study of physiological and biochemical interactions of a drug with the target tissue responsible for the drug’s effects. |
35. | The study of the genetic basis for variability in drug response among individuals |
37. | Topical administration of a drug to the nasal mucosa. (2 Words) |
39. | An experimentally-derived measure of a drug’s lipid solubility used to predict its relative rate of movement across cell membranes. (2 Words) |
42. | Molecular changes associated with a drug binding to a particular target site or receptor. (2 Words) |
44. | Genetic variations in a population resulting in multiple forms of a particular protein. (2 Words) |
45. | Alterations in physiological or psychological functions associated with a specific drug. (2 Words) |
46. | Drug that binds to a receptor but has little or no efficacy. When it competes with an agonist for receptor sites, it reduces the effect of the agonist. (2 Words) |
47. | Rapid tolerance formed during a single administration of a drug, as is the case with alcohol. (2 Words) |
48. | Area of pharmacology focusing on chemical substances that interact with the nervous system to alter behavior, emotions, and cognition. |
49. | Area in the medulla of the brain stem that is not isolated from chemicals in the blood. It is responsible for inducing a vomiting response when a toxic substance is present in the blood. (2 Words) |
50. | Repeated pairing of a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus. Eventually the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus and elicits a (conditioned) response that is similar to the original unconditioned response. (2 Words) |
51. | Decrease in the number of receptors, which may be a consequence of chronic agonist treatment. (2 Words) |
53. | The reduced effectiveness of a drug administered chronically that involves learning: either instumental or classical conditioning. (2 Words) |
54. | Type of drug interaction involving binding to an inactive site, such as to proteins in the plasma, to bone, or to fat. (2 Words) |
55. | Area of pharmacology specializing in drug-induced changes to the function of cells in the nervous system. |
56. | Small gaps between adjacent cells. (2 Words) |
57. | Time required to remove half of the drug from the blood. It is referred to as t1/2. (2 Words) |
58. | Graph used to display the amount of biological change in relation to a given drug dose. (3 Words) |
