Answer:

b. Cocaine causes more neurotransmitters to be produced in the pleasure-sensing region of the brain

Explanation:

Normally, a neuron releases dopamine into the synapse, where it binds to dopamine receptors on the adjacent neuron.

Thus, dopamine is a neurotransmitter. It carries a signal through neurons to the reward centres of the brain.

Dopamine transporters remove dopamine from the synapse so it can be recycled.

Cocaine binds to the dopamine transporters and blocks the removal of dopamine from the synapse.

Dopamine then builds up in the synapse. This produces a larger dopamine signal to the pleasure-sensing areas of the brain.

Explanation: This is because both of them were injured during the course of using the arrow.

Product liability suit occurs in cases of injuries related by a defective product. When manufacturers fail to exercise due care then they are liable to any person who sustained injury, he or she would be held for negligence. Also those who make, sell, or lease goods can be held liable for physical harm or property damage caused by those goods to a consumer.Thia is why a manufacturer's duty of care should extend to the inspection and testing of the final product.
