The respiratory system is not directly affected by nerve agents, as these agents primarily target the nervous system by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, leading to an accumulation of acetylcholine at synapses. However, nerve agents can indirectly impact respiratory function due to muscle paralysis and convulsions, which may affect breathing. In contrast, the circulatory system can be influenced by nerve agents, particularly through changes in heart rate and blood pressure. Overall, while the respiratory system may not be the primary target, it can still be compromised as a result of the overall effects of nerve agents.
What else can I help you with?
What are all the systems that nerve agents can affect?
Nerve agents affect the transmission of nerve impulses in your nervous system. Nerve agents can affect the central nervous system, the respiratory system as well as cholinergic nervous system.
What are Nerve agents are organophosphorus agents?
These cause damage to the nervous system so it will not work.
Nerve agents are organophosphorus agents that cause what?
These cause damage to the nervous system so it will not work.
Which type of chemical agent when released can cause?
Persistent
When was The Nerve Agents - EP - created?
The Nerve Agents - EP - was created in 1998-05.
What systems do nerve agents affect?
Nerve agents typically affect the acetylcholine system by irreversibly binding to the enzyme, acetylcholinesterase. This prevents the body from catabolizing acetylcholine, resulting in an accumulation of the neurotransmitter in the synapse and neuromuscular junction.
Is a soman a choking agent?
No, it is a nerve agent, so it would affect the nervous system. Choking agents affect the pulmonary system.
What are the causes of organophosphorus nerve agents?
Nerve agents are organophosphorus compounds. Nerve agents are caused by an accidental release or terrorist attack. Symptoms includes abdominal pain, rhinorrhea, excessive salivation, and seizures.
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.
What is the pupose of m9 paper?
to detect the presence of liquid nerve and blister agents to detect the presence of liquid nerve and blister agents
What happens to m9 paper when it comes in contact with a nerve agent or blister agent?
It will change colours. Yellow to brown for G (nerve) agents, red to purple for H (blister) agents, and green to black for V (nerve) agents.
Which of the following is true regarding nerve agent?
Nerve agents are highly toxic in any form, whether it is a solid, liquid, or vapor. Exposure blocks functioning of the nervous system and can be fatal.
