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

well my friend, the best way to improve your nervous system is injesting narcotics, preferably large amounts of Nyquil. If you take enough NyQuil and a large amount of alcohol (preferably red wine) your nervous system should be able to act twice as fast. I hope that answers your question.


Narcotics act on the central nervous system by producing a effect?

Narcotics act on the central nervous system by producing pain relief, sedation, and euphoria. They achieve this by binding to specific receptors in the brain and spinal cord, altering the perception of pain and affecting overall brain function. Over time, prolonged use can lead to addiction and physical dependence.
