Define pharmacodynamics and its relationship to the action of drugs on the body. Discuss dose-response relationships (e.g., basic features of the dose-response relationships, maximal efficacy, and relative potency), the effects drugs can produce, and the amount of drug needed to elicit an effect. Discuss properties of drug-receptor interactions (e.g., drug receptors, four primary receptor families, receptors and selectivity for drug action, theories of drug-receptor interaction, agonists, antagonists, partial agonists, and regulation of receptor sensitivity). Describe how receptors function in the...

Need help with these problems. 1. A doctor prescribes 150 milligrams of a therapeutic drug that decays by about 10% each hour. Write an exponential model representing the amount A in milligrams of the drug remaining in the patient's system after t hours. 2. Suppose a sample of a radioactive substance weighs 38 mg. One year later, the sample weighs 23.5mg. What is the half-life of this substance? 3. Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. A fossil is found...
