 All systems have the potential to be affected by toxicants. The GI system, including the liver, is the primary system, with the nervous, renal, and cardiovascular systems also affected. Many toxicants cause clinical signs in more than one system.

 Different systems are targeted depending on the inherent toxicity of the specific toxicant. A toxic outcome, however, can be modulated by animal factors (e.g., genetics) or by the dose or the route of exposure, or by environmental conditions such as season, among others.

 The effects can occur concurrently, sequentially, or independently of each other.
