Drug#1: Marijuana

Marijuana is a drug used for medicine or personal uses that is made from part of a plant called Cannabis. Short-term side effects may include a decrease in short-term memory, dry mouth, impaired motor skills, red eyes, and feelings of paranoia or anxiety. Long-term side effects may include addiction, decreased mental ability in those who started as teenagers, and behavioral problems in children whose mothers used cannabis during pregnancy. There is a strong relation between cannabis use and the risk of psychosis.

Drug #2: Crack Cocaine

Crack cocaine, also known simply as crack or rock, is a free base form of cocaine that can be smoked. Crack offers a short but intense high to smokers. The Manual of Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment calls it the most addictive form of cocaine. Crack cocaine is commonly used as a recreational drug. Effects of crack cocaine include euphoria, supreme confidence, loss of appetite, insomnia, alertness, increased energy, a craving for more cocaine, and potential paranoia (ending after use). Crack is such a strong stimulant that it creates severe stresses on the heart, the vascular system, the lungs and the brain. Blood vessels constrict from the stimulation of the drug and over time, can harden. Then when further stimulation occurs, these damaged blood vessels can rupture, leading to a stroke. Damage to the heart can lead to a fatal heart attack or cardiac arrest.

What are the two circuits of the cardiovascular system? What does it mean to say that the cardiovascular system is a closed syst
maksim [4K]

Answer:

The two circuits of the cardiovascular system are: Pulmonary Circuit and Systematic Circuit. The pulmonary circuit is shorter than the systemic and is responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood to the lungs from the right atrium, for oxygenation. The systemic circuit is longer and leaves the aortic artery, carrying oxygenated blood throughout the body and nutrients for survival. If less blood were pumped into the systemic circuit, this amount would not be sufficient to compensate for the organism's needs, with the corresponding consequences that this would entail.  

It is said that the cardiovascular system is a closed system because blood travels inside a network of blood vessels without leaving them.

What 3 systems get put to work when a beaver is building a home and how?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

beaver dams smooth out water flow by increasing the area wetted by the stream. This allows more water to seep into the ground where its flow is slowed. This water eventually finds its way back to the stream. Rivers with beaver dams in their head waters have lower high water and higher low water levels.
