Built from prompt

Exactly 4 short-answer questions from the uploaded FAR 180 pharmacodynamics notes that complement an 11-question multiple-choice quiz: receptor family signalling and response times, enzyme inhibition and transporter mechanisms, dose-response with potency, efficacy and therapeutic index, and agonist versus antagonist versus partial agonist behaviour. Model answers and marking points for every question.
