topical
Definition
route of administration that refers to application on mucous membranes (sublingual, intranasal)

epidural
Definition
drugs administered to the CSF in order to bypass the blood-brain barrier
Term

Definition
drugs (antibiotics) are delivered in a constant dose to the CSF in the ventricles of the brain
Term
partition coefficient
Definition
when a drug is mixed with equal volumes of water and lipid solvent, this is the ratio of the amount of drug in the oil to the amount in the water
Term

Definition
what organs receive the most blood flow?
Term
area postrema
Definition
This is a chemical trigger zone in the brainstem medulla that induces vomiting when toxic substances are detected
Term
median eminence
Definition
This part of the brain borders the hypothalamus and contains capillary fenestrations that allow hormones to move to the pituitary gland

first order kinetics
Definition
what aspect of pharmacology can be used to describe the exponential decrease or half-life of a drug?
