(Select All that Apply.).
The blood flow of the mucous lining of the stomach and intestines can affect how quickly a drug is absorbed.
Drug distribution refers to how a drug spreads throughout the body, not its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.
Enzyme activity can affect how a drug is metabolized and absorbed.
Gastric pH can affect drug absorption as some drugs are better absorbed in an acidic environment, while others are better absorbed in an alkaline environment.
Gastric emptying time can affect drug absorption. Drugs may stay in contact with the absorptive tissue longer if the gastric emptying time is slower, allowing for increased absorption.
