Psychoactive drugs include alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, and a wide range of other chemical compounds that affect perceptions and moods. 

<h3>What are psychoactive drugs?</h3>

Psychoactive drugs can be defined as compounds that, when consumed or supplied to the body, alter mental processes such as mood, perception, cognition, consciousness, and emotions. Psychoactive drugs are actually part of a larger class of psychoactive substances that also includes alcohol and caffeine. The psychoactive drug affects three brain neurotransmitters that are dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline or norepinephrine. When the substance reaches the brain, synaptic vesicles in neurons release the neurotransmitters. As a result, neurotransmitter activity increases.

spin [16.1K]

Answer: caring for a person with alzheimer's can affect family in all kinds of ways

Explanation: financially alzheimer's affects  a family member by then paying for the treatments for the person with alzheimer's and may have to stop working in order to care for that person . phsically it could be a lot of work to deal with an alzheimer's patient alone without help . Emotionally it could affect the family member because alzheimer's is a disease that only effects older adults destroys the memory , thinking skills , and ability to carry on simple task , so the alzheimer's patient wouldn't even  remember the person that is caring for them after a couple of minutes . the family member caring for the alzheimer's patient would probably be devastated . societies today could create donations to get the treatments to provide for the people with the alzheimer's disease .

In what way are aldosterone and atrial natriuretic hormones antagonists?
Luba_88 [7]

Explanation:

Aldosterone is steroidal hormone which is produced by outer-section of adrenal cortex in adrenal gland. It acts on distal tubules and the collecting ducts of kidney to cause conservation of the sodium by facilitating the secretion of the potassium and increased water retention.

Atrial natriuretic hormones are natriuretic peptide hormone which are secreted from cardiac atria. Main function of the hormone is causing reduction in the volume of the expanded extracellular fluid by increasing the renal sodium excretion.

<u>Thus, Atrial natriuretic hormones causes sodium and the Water loss while Aldosterone helps in the conservation of the sodium and water retention.</u>
