Toxicodynamics refers to the study of the dynamic interactions between a toxicant and a biological system, focusing on the mechanisms by which a toxicant exerts its effects at the cellular and systemic levels. It is crucial for understanding the dose-response relationship and the resultant biological changes that occur following exposure to toxic substances.

The dose-response relationship is a fundamental principle in pharmacology and toxicology that describes the change in effect on an organism caused by differing levels of exposure to a substance. It is crucial for determining the optimal dose required to achieve desired therapeutic effects while minimizing adverse effects.
