Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Statement I:Toxicodynamics refers to the movement of chemicals in the body.
Statement II:Toxicokinetics refers to the process by which chemicals produce effects in the body.
ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false ✓ Correct
CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer: (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Explanation
The two definitions are swapped, making both statements wrong.
Toxicodynamics is actually how chemicals produce their effects in the body, not their movement.
Statement 1 therefore misdefines the term.
Toxicokinetics is actually the movement of chemicals through the body, their absorption, distribution and elimination.
Statement 2 therefore misdefines its term as well.
A simple memory aid is that kinetics tracks motion while dynamics tracks action.
