Cross tolerance in simple refers to when a person develop tolerance to one drug after a long term use of it, will also develop tolerance to other form of drug which have same action.When the drug is taken it acts on the same receptor cells of the brain.For example antipsychotic medication may block dopamine receptor or serotonin receptor .Drugs like stimulant block the reuptake of epinephrine and dopamine in the brain.In opioid analgesics it binds to the most similar endorphin receptor.
Whereas cross dependence refers to when a particular long term medication is ceased due to its dependence ,it leads to withdrawal signs and symptoms in patient, in order to control this signs and symptoms another drug is given which in long run itself can change into a dependence drug.The receptor plays a major role by transduction and recognising the drug I the brain

What role do three of the loops on the GPCR at the outside of the cell play in the signaling process? Together they serve as a binding site for proteins that link receptors to various signaling proteins. Together they serve as a binding site for proteins that link receptors to various effectors in the cell. Together they serve as a ligand-binding site for extracellular signaling molecules. Together they serve as a binding site for cAMP.
