Answer and Explanation:

    Ergotamine has been used for over 50 years and was the first specific drug to treat migraine attacks. Its therapeutic effect is due in part to its ability to contract the vessels. It is a vasoconstricting alkaloid used in migraine attacks, when treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has no effect.

   The mechanism of action of ergotamine is complex. The molecule has structural similarities to neurotransmitters such as seratonin, dopamine and adrenaline, and can therefore bind to various receptors and function as an inhibitor. Its use in the treatment of migraines is due to its vasoconstrictor effect of extracerebral intracranial blood vessels through their binding to the 5-HT1B receptor and inhibition of neurotransmitter binding.

    Overuse of ergotamine may cause nausea, vomiting (to direct effects on the Central Nervous System in the vomiting centers)  , malaise, headache, constriction of peripheral vessels and more severe effects such as ischemia of the extremities.

   Ergotamine poisoning is called ergotism.

    Ergotamine should not be used in patients with peripheral arterial or venous vascular insufficiency, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, systemic infection and hypertension without effective control.

Well because your heart beat is increasing very rapidly your hearts output will speed up or increase. This happens because the heart is beating faster forcing it to pump blood threw you at a more efficient or higher rate. This increased flow of blood is very important for your lungs because with an increased heart rate comes increased breaths meaning your lungs are relying on that blood flow to be able to release oxygen into your fast flowing blood stream. Which that oxygenated blood will then fuel the rest of your body. Sorry if this is kinda a mess but pretty much the main idea is your body needs an more blood flow per minute because it allows the rest of your body to function as fast and efficiently as your heart.

List 5 types of food that you should be consumed daily in a healthy diet. Give an example of each
Misha Larkins [42]

Sushi: It's not deep-fried or smothered in sauce, and most types of sushi have no added fat. It can also be a good source of omega-3 fatty acids from the fish.

Tuna: Tuna, for its part, is a source of high-quality protein with almost no fat. It contains all essential amino acids required by the body for growth and maintenance of lean muscle tissue.

Salmon Fish: Salmon is rich in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and decrease risk factors for disease.

Eggs: Eggs are a low-calorie food rich in protein and other nutrients. Eating eggs may support weight loss, especially if a person incorporates them into a calorie-controlled diet. Research suggests that eggs boost metabolic activity and increase feelings of fullness.

Red Kidney Beans: Being rich in protein, fiber, and so-called slow-release carbs, kidney beans are particularly effective at maintaining healthy levels of blood sugar when included with meals. Kidney beans are an excellent dietary choice for diabetics and those who want to stabilize their blood sugar levels.
