CLNR 328 - Introduction to Pharmacology

Cross-listed: PHSC 328
The basic principles of drug action are covered through discussion of the responses of biological systems to drugs and chemicals. Emphasis is placed on understanding mechanisms of action through detailed exploration of receptor-mediated events (pharmacodynamics). The course considers the quantification of drug action as well as the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of xenobiotics (pharmacokinetics) and how these and other factors relate to drug action.
