Pharmacology
Since 1940, the first edition of the book cited in the
references as reference 6 has been known to successive
classes of pharmacy students as simply Goodman
and Gilman. On page 1 of the current edition,
the following statement can be found: "In its entirety,
pharmacology embraces the knowledge of
the history, source, physical and chemical properties,
compounding, biochemical and physiological
effects, mechanisms of action, absorption, distribution,
biotransformation and excretion, and therapeutic
and other uses of drugs. Since a drug is
broadly defined as any chemical agent that affects
processes of living, the subject of pharmacology is
obviously quite extensive."
The test items in this chapter deal with some of
these areas of pharmacology. Related questions
may be found in chapters on biopharmaceutics and
pharmacokinetics and on clinical pharmacy.
