Answer 2

As the term indicates these are
organs of plants or animals and are
made up cells or definite structures.
These drugs are named as flowers,
seeds, fruits, insects, etc.
These are derived from parts of plant or
animal by some process of extraction
and followed by purification, if
necessary. E.g. juices, extracts, resins,
etc.
2. These are solid in nature. These are solid, semisolid or liquids in
nature. E.g. oils, gums and balsams.
3. Botanical or zoological terminology
can be used to describe these drugs.
Such terminology is inadequate to
describe them, but has to look for their
physical characters, such as the
solubility in various solvents, density,
optical rotation, refractive index, etc.
whichever is applicable.
4. Microscopic characters are one of
the important criteria for the
identification of organized drugs.
Example: digitalis, cinchona, clove,
jalap, ephedra etc.
Chemical tests and physical standards
are confirmatory tests.
Example: aloe, agar, colophony, opium,
castor oil, pepsin, etc.
