2434754441What is a point source pollution and an example?identifiable point of pollution. Sewage discharge pipe.36
2434754442What is nonpoint source pollution and an example?-Land use practices generating pollution carried by storm water into surface water or ground water -60 to 70% (40%) of the nation's waters are not meeting water quality due to NPS pollution.37
2434754443Suggest three reasons why people may be against a dam.Loss of home, loss of wildlife habitat, expense, environmental damage, disturbance during construction.38

4592641420Plateau (steady-state) level of medication~ After multiple administrations of a drug, a point is reached where the elimination of the drug is equal to dose administered. ~ Use the rule of thumb.73
4592645887The rule of thumb to achieve the plateau level of medication~ After four administration and half-lives independent of drug dosage, the plateau is achieved. ~ If the drug is discontinued, it will take four half-lives to eliminate.74
4592798980Peak and trough of drug accumulation~ Keep serum drug levels below the toxic level and above minimum effective concentration. ~ The peak is taken right after the 4th dose is administered. ~ The trough is taken right before the 5th dose is administered.75
4592802693Loading doseA high first dose and then subsequent normal doses to reach plateau more quickly.76
4592669274Pharmacodynamics~ What the drug does to the body. ~ Enhance or inhibit existing functions of cells. ~ Graded dose response. ~ Maximal efficacy. ~ Potency. ~ Drug receptors. ~ Target molecules. ~ Individual variation exist. ~ Tolerance can develop. ~ Tachyphylaxis. ~ Withdrawal.77
45926702023 phases of graded dose response1. Too low of dose to elicit measurable response. 2. Higher dose leads to higher response. 3. Point where a higher dose will no longer contribute to an increase in desired response.78
4592704606Maximal efficacy of drugs~ Largest possible response a drug can produce. ~ The dose transitioned from end of phase 2 to phase 3.79

4592732770Target molecules~ Drugs that bind to cellular molecules and elicit desired response ~ Ex: Enzymes. Ribosomes. Tubulin.82
4605829771Agonist~ A substance that fully activates the receptor that it attaches to. ~ Activates.83
4605829772Antagonist~ A substance that attaches to a receptor but does not activate it or if it displaces an agonist at that receptor it seemingly deactivates it thereby reversing the effect of the agonist. ~ Inhibits.84
45927557594 receptor families~ Cell membrane-embedded enzymes. ~ Ligand-gated ion channels. ~ G protein coupled receptor systems. ~ Transcription factors.85

4592829999AffinityAttraction to receptor.91
4592830998Intrinsic activityReceptor activation.92
4605842254Individual variation of pharmacodynamicsRequires the use of small doses in the beginning, and then titrating to response.93
4605836329Pharmacodynamic tolerance~ Long use of an agonist can lead to higher MEC secondary to desensitization or refractory responses due to receptor destruction or modification by the cell. ~ Long use of an antagonist can cause hyper-sensitivity.94
4605835010Metabolic toleranceAccelerated drug metabolism occurs due to the drug stimulating the liver to produce more enzymes.95
4592844804TachyphylaxisRapidly diminishing response to successive doses of a drug, rendering it less effective.96
4592847068Withdrawal~ Prolonged use of a drug can cause the body to become physically dependent. ~ The body may no longer produce the agent which elicits the same effects as the drug, and sudden discontinuation of the drug produces the opposite effects.97
4592855693Pharmacogenomics~ The study of how genes affect individual drug responses. ~ Alterations in genes that code for certain drug metabolizing enzymes and targets. ~ Future possibility of individualized drug therapy for certain genotypes. ~ Results in bias such as "drug seekers."98
4592868767FDA pregnancy categoriesA. No risk. B. No risk in animals. C. Fetal risk in animals. D. Fetal risk in human. X. Avoid.99
4605849138Pregnancy and drugs~ Tetratogenic drugs exist. ~ Pregnancy alters drug metabolism and excretion. ~ Some drugs pass the placental barrier. ~ Breast feeding can transmit drugs to the infant.100
4592872614Teratogenic drug~ Drugs that cause gross fetal malformations during organogenesis.101
4605869238Pediatric pharmacology challenges~ Dosing is not the same as adults, and not always less. ~ Compliance issues. ~ Body systems are immature, leading to toxicity. ~~ Liver until one year of age. ~~ Blood brain barrier until three months of age. ~~ Renal in neonates.102
4605878990Geriatric pharmacology challenges~ Must consider varying physiologic states, disease processes, multiple drug use, compliance, nutrition. ~ Higher sensitivity than younger adults. ~ Declining body systems (liver, renal), leading to toxicity.103
