Title	Description	Tag(s)
What is a randomised controlled trial?	This RLO outlines how Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) work.	EBP, rct, clinical trial, Pharmacology, Research
Action of drugs that target ion channels	This learning resource introduces ion channels as target for drug action.	Pharmacology, ion channels
Kinase-linked receptors	This learning resource explains the mechanism and action of kinase-linked receptors. It has been designed to work easily with the Core tool, an application currently under development. The Core tool will enable tutors to collect, organise and aggregate various resources and package them as one learning object.	kinase linked receptor, Pharmacology, Receptor
Action of drugs that target carriers	This learning resource introduces carriers as a target for drug action and describes how carriers function and how drugs utilise these carriers.	carriers, Pharmacology
Crossword - Introduction to Receptor Pharmacology	This RLO uses a crossword to assess your knowledge about the different receptor types and how drugs interact with them.	agonist, antagonist, drug, g-protein linked receptor, kinase linked receptor, ligand, pharmacokinetics, Pharmacology, Receptor, Nuclear receptors, Ligand-gated ion channels
Importance of membrane bound receptors to the speed of drug action	To determine the clinical importance of receptor location in determining the time of onset of drug effect.	Adrenaline, drug, ligand, Membrane bound receptor, Biochemical cascade, Drug actions, Pharmacology, Receptor, time of effect
Targets for Drug Actions	This RLO explains the four major targets at which drugs act, namely receptors, ion channels, carriers and enzymes	drug, Pharmacology, Receptor, enzymes, ion channels, carriers
Introduction to drug clearance	Provides a definition of clearance and a basic explanation of the processes	Pharmacology, Physiology, elimination, excretion, half-life, ionised, clearance, metabolism, lipid-soluble, steady-state
Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic influences of aminoglycoside dosing	Examines how the absorbtion and distribution of aminoglycosides within the body affects the dosing regimens used.	Pharmacology, aminoglycosides, pharmacokinetics, lola
Volume of distribution	Explains the pharmacological concept of Volume of Distribution, and how it is calculated.	Pharmacology, loading dose, prescribing
Liver Physiology	Introduction to the physiology of the liver, examining its role in filtering blood, metabolism, nutrient extraction and homeostasis.	Biology, Liver, Pharmacology, Physiology
The Kidneys and Drug Excretion	The role of the kidneys in the excretion of drugs.	Biology, Kidney, Pharmacology
The Liver and drug metabolism	The role of the liver in the metabolism of drugs.	Biology, Liver, Pharmacology
Bioavailability	Introduction to the concept of the bioavailability of drugs.	Pharmacology
Half-life of drugs	To understand the half-life of drugs and its relationship with volume of distribution and clearance.	Pharmacology, loading dose, maintenance dose
Lock and Key Hypothesis	Introducing the "lock and key" analogy of drug-receptor interaction, whereby only drugs of a certain molecular shape will 'fit' with a cell membrane receptor.	Pharmacology, Biology
Understanding First Pass Metabolism	Description of first pass metabolism of orally-administered drugs in the liver and gastrointestinal tract	Pharmacology, Drug actions, metabolism
Exploring the synapse	Describe the events during the transmission of an impulse across a synapse	Biology, Pharmacology, neuron, synapse, neurology, nerve
Drug-receptor interaction	Introduction to the interaction of cell receptors with drugs	Biology, Pharmacology, cell biology
Pharmacogenetics	Pharmacogenetics refers to the study of genetic influences on an individual’s response to drugs. In pharmacogenetics, the analysis of a specific gene, or group of genes, may be used to predict responses to a specific drug or class of drugs.	Pharmacology, genetics, drug response, cancer
