Difference between cobra snake and viper snake?
Cobras are apart of the group Elapidae (elapids) which include other neurotoxic snakes such as Kraits and Coral Snakes. This group is separate from the other main group of venomous snakes, Viperidea (vipers), which include Rattlesnakes and Puff Adders. That being said, there are many differences between elapids and vipers. Elapids are generally long, slender snakes with small, fixed front fangs. Vipers on the other hand are usually stout-bodied with a triangular lance-like head that have long, hinged front fangs. Also, elapids possess neurotoxic venom while vipers have hemotoxic venom (in come cases a viper can have a blend of both as seen in Neo-tropical Rattlesnakes)
When comparing the brown recluse spider to the blak widow spider how are they alike?
They actually aren't very alike at all. Brown recluse spiders are of the family Sicariidae. They have necrotic venom. Necrotic venom causes tissue death, hence why victims of brown recluse bites often have large, gaping wounds where they were bit. Deaths occurring from brown recluse bites are usually not due to the bite or venom, but because of infection in the wound. Both males and females are equally venemous. There is currently no antivenom for brown recluse bites. Black widows are of the family Theridiidae. Their venom is neurotoxic. Instead of killing tissue, neurotoxic venom attacks the body's systems, acting at the junction of motor nerves, muscles, and peripheral nerves causing increasing pain and difficulty breathing because of severe chest pain. Only females are large enough to pierce human skin. There is an antivenom for black widow bites, however many people are just as allergic to it as they are the bite itself. These patients have to stay in the hospital for weeks and wait out the effects of the venom until it passes.

What are the major substances in the nervous system?
Neurotoxicology is the medical specialty that deals with the unwanted effects of chemicals on the nervous system. In the United States and Canada, most adults with serious neurotoxic disease are showing the side effects of either prescribed drugs, substance abuse or suicide attempts involving neurotoxic chemicals. People can also contract neurotoxic disease from biological poisons venoms, fish toxins, toxic plants and from occupational and environmental chemicals, but such illnesses are uncommon in North America. For children, most neurotoxic problems arise from unknowingly ingesting hazardous household substances. Neurotoxicology is also a specialty of veterinary medicine, and in that field the most common toxins are plants. That is my answer and i am sticking to it! Boom shaka laka!

What are the types of venom?
Snake venom is highly modified saliva that is produced by special glands of certain species of snakes. Snake venom can be divided into two broad categories. That of hemotoxicity and neurotoxicity. Hemotoxic venom effects the blood and organs, causing a breakdown or inflammation in the body. Hemotoxic bites are the most painful as breathing hurts and tissues start to die. Neurotoxic venom, as the name suggests, effect the nervous system, leading to everything from siezures to death. Neurotoxic bites are the most deadly. Although we have these two wonderful different categories, no snake fits completely in each. Many snakes incorporate both neurotoxic and hemotoxic venom in their bites so when telling them apart one goes by which type is more predominant. For instance King Cobra has predominantly neurotoxic venom while the eastern diamondback rattlesnake has predominantly hemotoxic venom.
