Is beta-endorphin an illegal narcotic?
No, beta-endorphins are natural hormones secreted by the pituitary gland that act as a powerful pain suppressant. They're the reason why people don't immediately feel the pain of severe trauma, such as losing a limb. What you are thinking of are opiates(eg. heroin), which attach themselves to the same receptors in the brain as beta-endorphins do. Those are illegal.
What is a beta reduction?
A beta reduction is an act of beta reducing, an instance of replacing a function call by the result of calling a function.
List four examples of body parts that act as a lever system?

Bloold pressure receptors are found in the?
Baroreceptor's are located in the blood vessels and act as blood pressure receptors to communicate through the nervous system to regulate and control increases and decreases in blood pressure
How do opiates and narcotics affectthe nervous system?
The nervous system produces its own version of morphine. (endorphins, dynophins, enkephalin, etc.) These intrinsic opiates act at different opiate receptors(mu, beta, and kappa receptors). Extrinsic opiates, like morphine, also fit into these receptors and result in the same effects as intrinsic body opiates.(morphine's pain relieving effects are mostly due to interaction with the mu opiate receptor). Hope that helps

What body system includes the brain spinal cord and sensory receptors?
The peripheral nervous system, contains all the nerves in the body that lie outside of the spinal cord and brain. They also relay signals from sensory receptors that monitor external conditions to the central nervous system.

What is enkephalins?
One of two pain-relieving pentapeptides produced in the body. Closely related to endorphins and dynorphins, enkaphalins bind to mu receptors in the brain where they mediate pain and act as an analgesiac.
How does jimson weed effect the body?
Its deliriants such as scopolamine act as competitive antagonist at muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. This affects the parasympathetic nervous system and leads to numerous potentially dangerous issues.
What is the mechanism of action of methylphenidate?
Though the mechanism of action of cocaine is not fully understood, it is thought to bind to and block the dopamine transporter protein (DAT). Blocking the action of this protein increases the concentration of dopamine in the synaptic cleft, thereby producing the characteristic effects of cocaine (such as stimulation and euphoria). Cocaine also affects serotonin receptors, sigma receptors, and sodium channels, though these actions play less of a role in its pharmacology.
