In what way may drugs be used to affect neurotransmitters?

Chemistry

Orlov [11]3 years ago
3 0
Drugs interfere with the way neurons send, receive, and process signals via neurotransmitters. Some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, can activate neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter in the body. This allows the drugs to attach onto and activate the neurons. Although these drugs mimic the brain’s own chemicals, they don’t activate neurons in the same way as a natural neurotransmitter, and they lead to abnormal messages being sent through the network.

Other drugs, such as amphetamine or cocaine, can cause the neurons to release abnormally large amounts of natural neurotransmitters or prevent the normal recycling of these brain chemicals by interfering with transporters. This too amplifies or disrupts the normal communication between neurons.

Which observation most likely indicates that only a chemical change has taken place
salantis [7]

The correct answer as to which observation most likely indicates that only a chemical change has taken place would that the change cannot be reversed.

When it comes to changes in a system, it can either be:

  • physical change
  • chemical change

When a substance undergoes a physical change, the original version of the substance can be recovered. In other words, physical changes can be reversible.

When a substance undergoes a chemical change, the original version cannot be recovered because an entirely new product would have been formed. In other words, chemical changes are irreversible.

Thus, once a change becomes irreversible, such a change is said to be a chemical change.
