depends on if it's a depressant or stimulant. A depressant slows the heart's pulses as a stimulant speeds it up. Ex: coffee is a stimulant, it keeps you awake, as Benadryl (however u spell it) is a deppresent because it makes you drowsy.
A good example is the baroreflex. Pressure sensors signal to the nervous system to increase venous return when we go from lying to standing. The nervous system controls the contraction of the veins which forces blood from the legs back to the heart. The nervous system can also increase the stimulation to the heart increasing the number of beats per minute. The net effect of the blood that is returned into the circulation and the increases heart rate act to restore blood pressure to it's proper level.
nervous system
Narcotics act on the central nervous system by producing a what effect?
the peripheral nervous system can be further organized into two divisions: the somatic (which controls voluntary movements like walking and talking) and the autonomic (which controls involuntary movements like breathing and heartbeat).But did you know that this autonomic nervous system can be further broken down into two main divisions? These are the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body to act during times of stress---that is, to undergo the complex of changes known as the fight-or-flight response. The parasympathetic system conserves and restores the body's resources.
neuroblasts
The parasympathetic nervous system allows the act of micturition. The sympathetic nervous system inhibits it.
Both Macrophages and leukocytes act as phagocytes within the CNS
Drugs act on the neurons in the limbic system.
The Nervous System.
generally
the autonomous nervous system
Yes, when consumed by man, the narcotics act on the central nervous system. The narcotics acts on the central nervous system that leads to lack of coordination of the various body parts.
