How do Toxicokinetics and Toxicodynamics Factor in?
Toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics are key concepts in toxicology. Toxicokinetics describes how a substance enters, moves through, and exits the body, including processes such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Toxicodynamics refers to the biological effects exerted by a toxicant at the cellular or molecular level. Together, they provide a comprehensive understanding of how substances exert toxic effects.
