In the human body, in this case the stomach, there are enzymes that speed up reactions. These enzymes strip the pills down, allowing structures that line your intestines to strip away the nutrients or other molecules in the cell and allow them to enter the blood stream.

The body assimilates different medications in different ways. Some medications are metabolized by the liver, while others are taken sub-lingually (under the tongue), and some are delivered to the body transdermally, as in a skin cream or a patch, while others are given by injection. Some different types of injection are: * subcutaneous - injected under the skin * intramuscular - injected into the muscle * intraveinously - injected directly into the vein
