Nerve Agents are also known as nerve gases. They disrupt the mechanism by which nerves transfer messages to the organs.
----
More specifically, nerve agents interfere with the transmission of messages along nerves, interfering with the chemical interactions that pass a message from one end of a nerve cell to the next nerve cell. They disrupt the electro-chemical processes at the synapses (junctions between nerve cells) by blocking acetylcholinesterase, a key enzyme.
By inhibiting nerve message passing, they prevent key messages from being sent to various critical body functions. As such, they cause involuntary muscle spasms in increasing intensity, and eventually lead to fatal asphyxia as the loss of respiratory control progresses.

What is the purpose of m9 paper?
Chemical Agent Detector Paper, M9 is the most widely used method of detecting liquid chemical warfare agents, such as nerve or blister agents. M9 Paper reacts to chemical agents by turning a red or reddish brown color. It will not detect vapor.

What does opthalmic nerve innervate?

What are the 4 categories of cleaning agent?
The four categories are acidic, alkaline, neutral, and degreasing. Acidic cleaning agents are used for inorganic deposits. It can also be used to unblock pipes. These cleaning agents typically contain hydrochloric acid, vinegar, or sulfuric acid. Alkaline cleaning agents contain strong base materials like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. These agents dissolve grease, oils, fats, and protein-based deposits. Bleach and ammonia are common alkaline cleaning agents. Neutral washing agents are pH-neutral and disperse different kinds of dirt. Degreasing cleaning agents are specially made for the removal of grease. They may be solvent-based and have surfactants as active ingredients. Typically degreasers are also made with alkaline washing agents to promote further degreasing.

What does a nerve agent affect in the body?
Nerve agents effect the junctions between nerve cells. Nerve agents prevent signals crossing the nerve junctions so all communication between nerve cells stops and no signals can get through from the brain.

Two types of chemical agents where surface contamination can be detected using m8 paper?
Vesicants (blister agents) such as sulfur mustard and nerve agents such as sarin can be detected on surfaces using M8 paper, which changes color in the presence of these chemical agents. M8 paper is a reactive paper that turns red for vesicants and yellow for nerve agents when they are present on a surface.
