Summary
This lecture covers the essentials of pharmacokinetics, including drug disposition and its relation to drug responses. It explores concentration vs. effect relationships and compares in vitro vs. in vivo results. The lecture also discusses the meaning of the word pharmacology and distinguishes between pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics.
