1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

Agonist drug is a drug that produces intended effect similar to the intended chemical and receptor. Example, endorphins are natural agonist drugs and heroin is an artificial agonist drug that turns to morphine in the body and gets attached to the opiod receptors in the brain and released to the pathways with dopamine.

Antagonist drug is a drug that stops the receptor to produce a response. Example, naloxone that is used to counteract a drug overdose from opiod.

This is what I think. All the best!

You are trying out a new type of food that is very spicy. Describe what chemoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, and nocioreceptors are

Tems11 [23]

Chemoreceptors are responsible for taste, and are responsible for sensing whether the food is spicy or not. Mechanoreceptors are responsible for taking sensations of mechanical movement and nocioreceptors are pain receptors and would be responsible for giving you an overall reaction (usually of pain if you cant tolerate the spicy food)
