Oxycodone has a high affinity for the mu receptor, and when it binds to this receptor, it produces a much stronger analgesic response than that of the endorphins produced by the body. Which term is most appropriate for this type of action? O Agonist enzyme interaction Antagonist receptor interaction Agonist receptor interaction
