How drugs get into, are
distributed, and do their job in the
body

cells

the cells soak up the drug and
the drug does what it is intended
to do ex. relieve pain.

protein

protein can hijack the drug molecule which
prvents the drug from going where it is
intended to go

receptors

side effected can happen when the drug molecules
bind receptors that are not the intended
target

the drugs know where to go when the recetors
that target the organblatch onto the drug
molecules

enzymes

the enzymes are helful to targeting to
area that the drug is intended for

the enzymes may not be helful in the liver
as the enzymes produced in the liver may
be destroyed by them

fat

fat in the bloodstream may be a
barrier to the drug getting to the
targeted area as it may hijack the drug molecules.

liver

whenthe drug has entered the bloodstream
it travles to the liver where it could possibly be
dstroyed by the enzymes produced. this
is when another methood of getting drugs to the
targetd area

stomach and stomach acid

small intestine

if the drug is not fully absorbed in the
stomach,it moves to the small intestine lining

the drug moleculess have to be small enough
to be absorbed through the intestine lining

circulatory

the deug travels to the liver and to the targeted
area through the circulatory system.
