Pharmacokinetics, the study of the processes a substance undergoes in the animal body, particularly the rates at which it is absorbed, distributed, metabolised and excreted
**
One-compartment kinetics, for a chemical compound specifies that the uptake in the compartment is proportional to the concentration outside the compartment, and the elimination is proportional to the concentration inside the compartment
**
Flip-flop kinetics, the pharmacokinetics of sustained-release or extended-release drug formulations
**
Toxicokinetics
Toxicokinetics (often abbreviated as 'TK') is the description of both what rate a chemical will enter the body and what occurs to excrete and metabolize the compound once it is in the body.
Relation to Pharmacokinetics
It is an application of ph ...
, the branch of pharmacokinetics dealing with compounds that are toxic or can be administered in toxic doses
*
Human kinetics
Humans (''Homo sapiens'') are the most abundant and widespread species of primate, characterized by bipedalism and exceptional cognitive skills due to a large and complex brain. This has enabled the development of advanced tools, culture, an ...
