Question

2:06 LTE Narcotics act by inhibiting the fitering of information processed by nerve cells. preventing the production of proteins stimulating the centrail nervous system disrupting the manufacture of DNA O blocking the flow of neurotransmittiers by blocking receptor sites. Chemicals produced by the body and having mild narcotic effects are called O opioid receptors O alcohols O steroids Ca? ene produces feelings of alertness and wakefulness stimulating insulin production, which increases blood sugar levels preventing production of prostaglandins causing a net increase in dopamine and norepinephrine. interacting with acetylcholine re rs, GNsng increased heart rate and blood pressure. blocking opiold receptor sites Drugs such as LSD and mescaline that produce distorted sensory perceptions are called O hormones O hallucinogens. O narcotics Antidepressants that are identified as SSRIs function by O stimulating the central nervous system to relay messages more quickly O blocking opioid receptor sites O prewenting production of prostaglandins Oinhibiting re-uptake of serotonin so the net level increases. O decreasing levels of norepinephrine, serotonin, & dopamine. Home My Assignments Extension Request

Explanation / Answer

Question-Narcotics act by

Ans-bloking the flow of neurotransmitter by blocking receptor site.

Reason-narcotics block neurotransmitter release by inhibiting calcium entry, by increasing outward movement of potassium ions, or by preventing adenylate cyclase (AC), the enzyme which converts ATP to cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).

Question-chemical produce by the body and having mild narcotic effect

Ans-endorphins

Reason- Endorphins is feel-good chemical which is naturally manufactured in the brain when the body experienced pain or stress.

Question –caffeine feel wakefulness and alertness

Ans-blocking opioid receptor site

Reason- molecular structure of caffeine is similar to adenosine, caffeine binds with the similar receptors that adenosine binds with, so blocking adenosine from reaching our brain. By inhibiting adenosine from reaching the brain, caffeine retains us awake and alert.

Question- drug such as LSD and mascaline that produce distorted sensory perception are called as

Ans-hallucinogens

Reason- LSD and mascaline are the drug of Psychedelics class which cause the hallucinogen.
