Nicotine on direct application in humans causes irritation and burning sensation in the mouth and throat, increased salivation, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Predominant immediate effects consist of increase in pulse rate and blood pressure. Nicotine also causes an increase in plasma free fatty acids, hyperglycemia, and an increase in the level of catecholamines in the blood. There is reduced coronary blood flow but an increased skeletal muscle blood flow. The increased rate of respiration causes hypothermia, a hypercoagulable state, decreases skin temperature, and increases the blood viscosity.

For amphetamine the immediate effects are quicker reaction times, feelings of energy/wakefulness, excitement, increased attentiveness and concentration, feelings of euphoria. Side effects of amphetamines can include heart palpitations, dry mouth, headache, hostility, nausea, cognitive impairment, severe anxiety, lack of appetite, teeth grinding, dizziness, increased heart rate, heart palpitations, rapid breathing rate, hypertension (high blood pressure), increased body temperature, erectile dysfunction, irregular heartbeat.

Cocaine causes a short-lived, intense high that is immediately followed by the opposite intense depression, edginess and a craving for more of the drug the side effects are Loss of appetite increased heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, contracted blood vessels increased rate of breathing, dilated pupils, disturbed sleep patterns, nausea, hyperstimulation, bizarre, erratic, sometimes violent behavior hallucinations, hyperexcitability, irritability, tactile hallucination that creates the illusion of bugs burrowing under the skin, intense euphoria, anxiety and paranoia, depression, intense drug craving, panic and psychosis, convulsions, seizures and sudden death from high doses (even one time)

The following is a list of vessels. Place them in the order that blood would go through entering the systemic circulation. 1. Le
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

E. 3, 6, 7, 4, 5, 8, 1, 2

Explanation:

Systemic circulation is the circulatory pathway which is involved in the transport of the oxygenated blood to the body when pumped by the heart through arteries, capillaries and then back to the heart.

In the given question, the order of vessels in the systemic circulation has been asked which begins with the entry of the deoxygenated blood to the heart.

1. The deoxygenated blood enters the blood from vena cava to the right ventricle.

2. From the right ventricle, the blood enters the right atrium which pumps the de-oxygenated blood to the lungs through an artery called the pulmonary artery.

3. In the lungs, the blood becomes oxygen rich and is returned to the left atrium through the pulmonary vein.

4. The blood then enters the left atrium which is then pumped to the body through the main artery called the aorta.

This completes the systemic circulation and thus, Option-E is correct.
