答案

Pharmacology deals with how drugs interact within biological systems to affect function.It is the study of drugs,of the body's reaction to drugs,the sources of drugs,their nature,and their properties.In contrast,pharmacy is a medical science concerned with the safe and effective use of medicines.
pharmacology is essential to the study of pharmacy,it is not specific to pharmacy.Therefore it is usually considered to be a field of the broader sciences.
