AB  - Pharmacokinetics  is  the  study  of  the  absorption,  distribution,  metabolism,  and  excretion  of  xenobiotics.  Xenobiotics  are  substances  that  are  foreign  to  the  body  and  include  natural  or  synthetic  chemicals,  drugs,  pesticides,  environmental  agents,  and  industrial  agents.49  Mathematical  models  and  equations  are  used  to  describe  and  to  predict  these  phenomena.  Pharmacodynamics  is  the  term  used  to  describe  an  investigation  of  the  relationship  of  xenobiotic  concentration  to  clinical  effects.  Toxicokinetics,  which  is  analogous  to  pharmacokinetics,  is  the  study  of  the  absorption,  distribution,  metabolism,  and  excretion  of  a  xenobiotic  under  circumstances  that  produce  toxicity.  Toxicodynamics,  which  is  analogous  to  pharmacodynamics,  is  the  study  of  the  relationship  of  toxic  concentrations  of  xenobiotics  to  clinical  effects.
