6 0

Alcohol acts as a depressant and slows nerve responses and depresses the central nervous system.

Excessive drinking over a prolonged period of time can cause serious problems with cognition and memory.

Alcohol interacts with the brain receptors, interfering with the communication between nerve cells, and suppressing excitatory nerve pathway activity.

Neuro-cognitive deficits, neuronal injury, and neurodegeneration are well documented in examples of alcoholics, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The effect can be both direct and/ or indirect.

The inner ear and cerebellum are areas of the brain involved in coordination and balance. These can be affected by alcohol producing difficulty with walking, hand-eye coordination and reaction time.

Impaired judgment, slowed reaction time, impaired vision and alertness, decreased coordination, confusion, loss of balance

Heroin can be quite destructive to the body in ways that the body unfortunately may never recover from. Significant damage to the liver and kidneys is irreparable and in some cases transplants might be needed or having to take certain types of medication to keep them from failing completely.

azamat

Answer: The process of digestion begins when you chew with your mouth the enzymes in your saliva and your teeth break down the food.Once you swallow the food goes down the esophagus.When the food reaches the end of the esophagus a ringlike muscle called the Lower esophageal splinter relaxes and allows food to go to the stomach.In the stomach the food gets mixed with digestive acids.The stomach then empties the contents into the small intestine.The small intestine mixes food with digestive juices from the pancreas,liver,and intestine,and push the mixture forward for further digestion.The large intestine absorbs water and changes the waste from liquid into stool.The lower end of your large intestine,called the rectum,stores the stool until it’s pushed out of your anus during bowel movement.

ALARM STAGE: Its is recognised by flight or fight response in reaction to any stressful situation. The body adapts in such a way that it reacts very quickly in wither the confrontation or fleeing the threat posed to them.
RESISTANCE STAGE: In this stage the parasympathetic branch of the ANS counteracts the changes which stress has produced an attempts are made for the restoration of homeostasis.There will be increased glucose in the blood, high BP but stress hormone levels begin to return to normal which enables the body focus to shift from alertness to renovation.
EXHAUSTION STAGE: The body don't have any energy left to cope with the continued stress in the long term and when it continue the body will show the signs of exhaustion. There will be gradual deterioration if it persists.
