Im sorry i think this is a noob question but i having trouble finding the answer.
Why do we have receptors for drugs in our body ?
What do these receptors do when we are not taking the drugs? Are they stimulated without taking the drugs ?
I read that when a drug binds to a receptors it transmits a signal. What is this signal?
What happens after to produce the effects? Is it to do with downstream pathways?
I am mainly concerned with the first and second question
