Fields of Study: Pharmacokinetics (drugs) and Toxicokinetics (all toxics).

Toxicity phase. A response is elicited at the target site.

toxicant binds to and/or reacts with the target site suborganismal response elicited drives physiological and or behavioural responses can be manifested in a continuum of intensities (no effect -----> death)
