Answer:

Drug tolerance occurs when a drug has been consumed continuously, producing a reduction in its effects on the body. In this way, it is necessary to increase the dose of the substance to feel its effects again.  

Not all substances produced tolerance; dependence on the chemical composition of drugs and the brain's ability to differentiate them from their own neurotransmitters. For example, they can cause tolerance to alcohol, illegal drugs, drugs such as benzodiazepines or substances such as caffeine.        

Tolerance is part of a compensatory mechanism that the brain develops. When the drug begins to exert its effects on the body, the brain detects the existence of an alteration in its balance or homeostasis.

The main response of the brain to this threat to its normal functioning is to resist. To do this, adapt the receivers and mobile devices to the drug so that it does not take effect.

In short, brain receptors become insensitive to the addictive substance. Thus, the person needs to consume a higher dose to feel its new effects.

If the person has used drugs regularly enough to experience tolerance, they will suffer withdrawal symptoms when they stop taking the substance.

What takes place when you inhale and exhale
Hatshy [7]
Breathing In (Inhalation)

When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. The intercostal muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

As your lungs expand, air is sucked in through your nose or mouth. The air travels down your windpipe and into your lungs. After passing through your bronchial tubes, the air finally reaches and enters the alveoli (air sacs).

Through the very thin walls of the alveoli, oxygen from the air passes to the surrounding capillaries (blood vessels). A red blood cell protein called hemoglobin (HEE-muh-glow-bin) helps move oxygen from the air sacs to the blood.

At the same time, carbon dioxide moves from the capillaries into the air sacs. The gas has traveled in the bloodstream from the right side of the heart through the pulmonary artery.

Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs is carried through a network of capillaries to the pulmonary vein. This vein delivers the oxygen-rich blood to the left side of the heart. The left side of the heart pumps the blood to the rest of the body. There, the oxygen in the blood moves from blood vessels into surrounding tissues.

(For more information on blood flow, go to the Health Topics How the Heart Works article.)

Breathing Out (Exhalation)

When you breathe out, or exhale, your diaphragm relaxes and moves upward into the chest cavity. The intercostal muscles between the ribs also relax to reduce the space in the chest cavity.

As the space in the chest cavity gets smaller, air rich in carbon dioxide is forced out of your lungs and windpipe, and then out of your nose or mouth.

Breathing out requires no effort from your body unless you have a lung disease or are doing physical activity. When you're physically active, your abdominal muscles contract and push your diaphragm against your lungs even more than usual. This rapidly pushes air out of your lungs.
