Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biotransformation refers to the chemical change of a drug into a form that can be excreted. Absorption of a drug depends on several conditions: the degree of stomach acidity; the time required for the stomach to empty; whether food is present; the amount of contact with villi in the small intestine, and the flow of blood to the villi. Distribution describes the drug's movement through body fluids. Excretion is the process by which the body removes a drug.
