The lymphatic vessels are thin-walled valvular structures, composed of lymphangions, which carry the lymph from the tissues, via the lymph nodes, to the bloodstream. For this reason, they are analogous to veins and venules.

The lymphatic network is present throughout the body with the exception of the central nervous system and non-vascularized tissues.

It is separated in two circuits: one for the upper right quarter of the body, and one for the rest.

The lymphatic channels join together to form lymphatic vessels more and more voluminous.

Finally, The lymph is drained by two large collectors:

* The right lymphatic canal

* The thoracic duct.

All lymphatics thus end up in the upper vena cava system by two separate circuits.

Estupefacientes o psicotrópicas productoras de dependencia física o síquica, capaces de provocar graves efectos tóxicos o daños
gladu [14]

Answer:

Drogas.

Explanation:

Las drogas son sustancias que tienen un efecto modificatorio sobre el estado normal de la psique. Por tanto, estas sustancias influyen en el comportamiento o la experiencia del usuario, pudiendo tener un efecto alucinógeno, pero también sedantes o una mixtura entre ambos.

El término se usa generalmente para indicar sustancias que tienen un efecto muy fuerte (por ejemplo, heroína, cannabis, mescalina, alcohol). Aunque los estimulantes cotidianos como el café y el chocolate también pueden tener un efecto en la psique, generalmente no se clasifican como sustancias psicoactivas debido a su efecto relativamente leve.

Los medicamentos que tienen un efecto sobre la psique se denominan psicofármacos. No obstante, los medicamentos que no se clasifican principalmente como psicofármacos, como los antihistamínicos, los agentes anti-mareo y los betabloqueantes, pueden también tener un efecto psicotrópico.
